Ministry of Health Uganda hosted the World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus is in the country to assess Uganda’s readiness to respond to the ongoing Ebola outbreak and to support efforts aimed at strengthening cross-border coordination to prevent further exportation of Ebola cases from Congo and to bring the outbreak to an end.
It was an honor to welcome such distinguished leadership during this critical time. Director-General’s visit focuses on the global commitment to containing this health emergency. Tedros’s assessment will provide valuable insights into our current capabilities and identify areas where we can further enhance our response mechanisms.
The focus on cross-border coordination is particularly vital, as it addresses the interconnected nature of disease transmission in our region. By working closely with neighboring countries and international partners, we can establish robust surveillance systems and rapid response protocols.
We remain steadfast in our dedication to protecting the health and safety of our citizens
