AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 minutes ago

Ebola Watch: Africa CDC says suspected Ebola cases in the DRC and Uganda have surged past 1,000 (1,077 suspected, 246 probable deaths), with 11 more countries flagged at high risk—among them Ethiopia and Kenya—while officials warn of surveillance gaps and limited lab capacity, especially for the Bundibugyo strain. DRC Response Under Strain: WHO chief Tedros warns the outbreak is being worsened by security conflict, displacement, food insecurity and mistrust, making contact tracing and early care harder as violence forces people to flee. Regional Preparedness Moves: Kenya has approved a US quarantine facility plan for American citizens exposed in the region, and Ruto has formed a national Ebola response committee to coordinate whole-of-government preparedness, including isolation centres and screening at points of entry. Health Burden Beyond Outbreaks: A study from Ethiopia’s urban leprosy centres links stigma, psychological distress, sleep problems and disability to poorer quality of life, with delayed diagnosis and poor living conditions common. Chronic Disease Snapshot: New diabetes prevalence figures place Ethiopia at about 5% among adults (20–79), underscoring the need for ongoing prevention and care alongside outbreak response. Food & Nutrition Crisis: WFP scaled up emergency food and nutrition aid in South Sudan’s Akobo as conflict-driven displacement and malnutrition push parts of the area toward catastrophe hunger levels.
