Singapore has pledged US$2 million to support Ebola response efforts in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. According to a joint statement from Singapore's Ministry of Health and the Communicable Diseases Agency, the funds will support laboratory testing and contact tracing, infection prevention and control measures, and case management activities in the affected regions.
The pledge comes as Ebola continues to spread across the Democratic Republic of Congo, with two new provinces recently registering cases. Aid workers have warned that the disease is outpacing the health response efforts currently in place, indicating the situation remains challenging for health authorities managing the outbreak.
The contribution addresses critical gaps in disease containment and patient care infrastructure, targeting key intervention areas necessary to control transmission and manage confirmed cases across the two countries.
