AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Ebola Watch (DRC): The UN says the fast-growing Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has killed over 2,700 people, with about 500 new cases reported each week, and warns the response is only 48% funded—risking money running out within weeks. Regional Health Security: WHO has updated temporary recommendations, and Africa CDC warns the outbreak is rapidly spreading across more health zones; prevention work is already underway in Burundi. Border Preparedness: A new regional plan by ECSA-HC targets 33 priority points of entry across major trade and migration corridors to help frontline teams detect, isolate, and report suspected cases early. Lead Safety (Burundi-linked training): A Mercer On Mission program trained representatives from Burundi and other East African countries on low-cost testing for lead in new paint, aiming to protect children from toxic exposure. Maternal Health (research): A study on immediate postpartum contraception uptake highlights barriers and facilitators after childbirth, relevant for reducing closely spaced pregnancies. Urology Access (East Africa): A urology camp in Tanzania plans specialist care for prostate and urinary conditions, including minimally invasive options. Diabetes (Kigali/Burundi context): New diabetes coverage notes Burundi’s adult diabetes prevalence in regional comparisons, underscoring the need for screening and care.
