President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has met a delegation from the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) at State House, Entebbe.
The delegation briefed the President on the current status of the Ebola outbreak and assured him that the situation is being effectively managed.
Dr. Jean Kaseya, Director General of Africa CDC, highlighted the need to establish a continental Incident Management Support Team for Ebola in Kampala to strengthen coordination and monitoring efforts.
President Museveni welcomed the proposal and pledged Uganda’s full support, noting that Ebola becomes most dangerous when it is not given adequate attention, but remains manageable with proper response measures.
The meeting was also attended by Dr. Diana Atwine, Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Health, alongside other senior officials from the ministry.
