The World Health Organization has said the current Ebola outbreak in DRC and Uganda does not qualify as a global public health emergency at this stage.
Health officials stated that the situation is being closely monitored as authorities continue surveillance, testing and containment measures in affected regions.
The agency said response teams are working with local governments to prevent further spread of the virus.
Monitoring And Containment Measures Continue
According to WHO officials, health workers are focusing on early detection, contact tracing and treatment support in vulnerable areas.
Authorities in both countries have increased public health awareness campaigns and strengthened medical preparedness to control infections.
Experts said quick coordination between local and international health agencies remains important.

Why WHO’s Assessment Matters
Global health experts closely watch Ebola outbreaks because the virus can spread rapidly if containment measures fail.
WHO clarified that while the current situation is serious, available evidence does not indicate a worldwide pandemic threat at present.
Officials added that continued monitoring remains necessary due to cross-border movement and regional health risks.
The WHO’s latest assessment has eased fears of a larger global health emergency linked to the Ebola situation in Central Africa. However, authorities continue to maintain strict monitoring and preparedness efforts.
