The Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda is worsening rapidly, with rising case numbers, expanding geographic spread, and confirmed cross-border transmission. Underscoring the seriousness of the crisis, World Health Organization Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus traveled to Bunia in eastern DRC on May 30 to support on-the-ground response efforts. His visit follows the WHO’s May 17 declaration of the outbreak as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.
