WHO Unveils 518 Million Dollar Ebola Response Strategy
The World Health Organization and Africa CDC have introduced a six-month strategy to contain a spreading Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. The plan addresses the rare Bundibugyo strain and seeks to overcome testing delays and security risks across the region.
The World Health Organization launched a $518 million six-month response plan on Friday afternoon to contain the Ebola outbreak in Central Africa. This current epidemic, involving the rare Bundibugyo strain, ranks as the fourth largest Ebola outbreak on record. Investors should note that the lack of approved vaccines for this strain increases regional economic and supply chain risks.
