HeadlineJan 13, 2023

The World Health Organization has declared that Uganda’s worst Ebola outbreak in more than two decades is over. The four-month outbreak killed at least 55 people, including at least six health workers. This is the WHO’s Dr. Yonas Tegegn.

Dr. Yonas Tegegn Woldemariam: “This success is not only of Uganda, it’s a global success. And the global health community will learn and follow Uganda so that Ebola is not as scary, Ebola is not as devastating as we used to know it.”
