Uganda is due to discharge its last Ebola patient from an isolation unit at Mulago National Referral Hospital in Kampala, triggering a 42-day countdown that could see the country declared free of the virus, a government spokesperson says. Uganda's health ministry portal shows 17 recoveries, one remaining admission and two deaths, with five cases locally acquired and 15 imported, all linked to the rare Bundibugyo strain.
DRC outbreak still the worst-affectedThe wider outbreak, declared a public health emergency by the World Health Organization in May, has caused 2 011 confirmed cases and 754 confirmed deaths in the Democratic Republic of Congo, centred in Ituri province. The WHO has described it as the third-worst Ebola outbreak on record.
