Urgent Ebola Support: Save DRC-Uganda Border Lives

Dear Donor,

Thanks to your continued support, we are reinforcing the idea that infection prevention is everyone's responsibility.

Healthcare workers have specialized responsibilities, but families, schools, businesses, community leaders, and transport workers also have roles to play.

Our community activities promote hygiene, responsible reporting, safe behavior around suspected illness, and cooperation with health authorities.

These measures help create layers of protection around communities and reduce reliance on a single intervention.

The WHO response continues to combine infection prevention and control with surveillance, contact tracing, clinical preparedness, supplies, and community engagement.

Your contribution is helping communities become active partners in protecting public health.

Dear Donor,

Thanks to your generous support, we continue encouraging communities to seek appropriate healthcare promptly when serious illness or possible Ebola exposure occurs.

Early referral can help ensure that people receive appropriate assessment and supportive care while reducing opportunities for transmission within households and communities.

Our awareness efforts emphasize that families should not attempt to manage suspected Ebola cases alone. Instead, they should contact qualified health professionals and follow official guidance.

WHO has highlighted delayed detection and delayed access to appropriate care as persistent challenges in the DRC outbreak.

Your support is helping communities understand that timely action can make an important difference for patients, families, and healthcare workers.
