Last Ebola patient in Uganda discharged
Reported byCBC Health ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Uganda discharged its last remaining Ebola patient on July 17, 2026, triggering a 42-day countdown toward being declared Ebola-free; Uganda confirmed 20 total cases (15 from DRC travelers, 5 local) with no new cases since June 22, contrasting sharply with the ongoing surge in DRC where 2,073 cases are confirmed.
While Uganda's control of the outbreak is significant, the broader regional crisis continues to worsen in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
