Uganda has confirmed an Ebola outbreak in Kampala after a male nurse died from the virus on Wednesday. This is the country’s ninth Ebola outbreak since 2000. The patient, treated at Mulago National Referral Hospital, tested positive for the Sudan Ebola strain.
Health officials are tracing 44 contacts, including 30 healthcare workers. Containment efforts face challenges as Kampala, a crowded city of over 4 million, is a major transit hub. The WHO has allocated $1 million to support the response.
