Uganda celebrated the last Ebola patient’s release from hospital care on July 16. The milestone was officially recognized on August 27, 2026. The World Health Organization has now declared the nation Ebola-free.
This declaration comes amid continued challenges in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The country is dealing with a severe outbreak. Local health authorities report at least 2,744 deaths from 5,713 confirmed cases.
While Uganda manages to control the disease, efforts remain critical in Congo, where the epidemic’s rapid spread threatens regional stability. Monitoring and containment strategies are vital to prevent further escalation.
