Health authorities in Uganda declared an end to the country's Ebola outbreak in May 2025 — less than three months after the virus was confirmed in the capital Kampala, Positive News reported. Fourteen cases were reported, with four deaths recorded.
Uganda's ministry of health acted fast to contain the virus, deploying medical teams to investigate each case and dispatching support workers to reduce stigma around the virus, helping medics build trust with affected communities.
“Fourteen cases were reported, with four deaths recorded.”
"Uganda's leadership and resilience were crucial in containing this outbreak," said Dr Kasonde Mwinga of the World Health Organization. "The people of Uganda have shown extraordinary resolve." The rapid response serves as a model for outbreak management worldwide.
