Urgent Ebola Support: Save DRC-Uganda Border Lives

Dear Donor,

Thanks to your continued support, we are promoting responsible health-information sharing during the Ebola response.

In an outbreak, information can spread quickly. Unfortunately, inaccurate information can spread just as quickly as reliable information. Rumors can create fear, encourage stigma, and discourage people from seeking appropriate care.

Our community awareness efforts encourage people to verify health information through trusted sources before sharing it with others.

We also emphasize the importance of communicating practical prevention messages rather than spreading unverified claims about suspected cases or affected families.

WHO continues to identify community engagement and trust as essential elements of the Ebola response.

Your contribution is helping communities become not only better informed, but also more responsible participants in public-health communication.

Dear Donor,

Thanks to your generous support, we continue working to strengthen confidence in appropriate healthcare during the Ebola response.

Fear can sometimes make people reluctant to visit health facilities, particularly when communities associate healthcare settings with Ebola exposure. Building trust is therefore an important part of outbreak control.

We encourage families to seek professional advice when they are concerned about symptoms or possible exposure and to follow guidance from qualified health workers.

WHO has emphasized that rapid recognition, testing, and appropriate supportive care can reduce mortality while improving community acceptance of healthcare services.

Our goal is to help communities understand that seeking care early is an act of protection—not something to fear.

Your support is helping build stronger relationships between communities and the healthcare systems they depend upon.
