Dr. Wessam Mankoula, representing the African Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC), highlights this surge. As of May, there have been 1,759 laboratory-confirmed cases, resulting in 600 deaths. The current outbreak is growing faster than any previous one. Hospital beds for Ebola patients are nearly exhausted, with 95 percent capacity used. Uganda's experience is cited as an example where Ebola was controlled, with only 20 cases linked to the DRC outbreak and two deaths. However, delays persist in reporting symptoms, with health authorities often receiving information 72 hours after initial signs. While daily testing capacity has reached 2,000 tests, regional disparities exist. Currently, there is no vaccine or specific treatment for the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola, though clinical trials for two antiviral treatments are underway.
