| Summary, etc. | Abstract :<br/><br/>On August 21, 2022, healthcare authorities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) announced an outbreak of Ebola virus disease in North Kivu Province, bringing the total to 15 outbreaks nationwide. On September 20, 2022, Uganda's authorities declared an outbreak of the Sudan strain of the Ebola virus following a confirmed a case in Mubende district. As of October 6, 2022, the reported numbers of cases were 63, with 29 deaths in Uganda and 1 case with 1 death in DRC, respectively. Ebola virus causes an acute and severely fatal illness, resulting in death within a very short time if left untreated. In addition, these outbreaks in DRC and Uganda pose a major threat to the health and socioeconomic well-being of the people of East Africa due to multiple cross-border activities. Adequate preparations need to be made by the healthcare authorities of the nations concerned; the government, healthcare workers, and the East-African community as a whole have important roles to play in the effective prevention and control of the spread of Ebola virus within and across their borders.<br/><br/>Key points<br/><br/>More than thirty Ebola outbreaks have occurred to date, mostly affecting Western and sub-Saharan African countries.<br/><br/>Following recent Ebola outbreaks in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, East-African countries are at a high risk of Ebola outbreak due to high interaction between their citizens.<br/><br/>Healthcare interventions and efforts employed aimed at stopping previous outbreaks, together with the recommendations presented in this article, are vital for mitigating current Ebola outbreaks and preventing international spread of the virus. |
