Today @DrTedros & Secretary-General @antonioguterres met Kavira Mwanamamba & a few other #Ebola patients who have conquered the disease and were leaving the Ebola Treatment Centre today. They will join the other 1,000 who have also conquered this disease.
UNSG @antonioguterres’s commitment to building a strong #PrimaryHealthCare system is so important to stopping diseases like #Ebola and managing others. A better health system means better #HealthForAll.
”Without the strong commitment and leadership of #DRC government and engagement of the community - we cannot end this #Ebola outbreak.
It’s important that we all work together to beat Ebola in DRC”-@DrTedros

#UN Launches All-out War on #FreeSpeech
In other words, forget everything about the free exchange of ideas: the UN feels that its 'values' are being threatened and those who criticize those values must therefore be shut down. gatestoneinstitute.org/14516/united-n…
Naturally, #UN assures everyone that, "Addressing hate speech doesn’t mean limiting/prohibiting freedom of speech. It means keeping hate speech from escalating into smth more dangerous, particularly incitement to discrimination, hostility & violence 🙄
Except the #UN most definitely seeks to #ProhibitFreedomOfSpeech, especially the kind that challenges the #UNAgendas.

Patient went to a private hospital in Kericho on Sunday with fever, headache, sore throat, joint pains, puffy face & vomiting. She tested negative for malaria. ‘Out of caution’ she was referred to the County Hosp. & tested for #Ebola
Hospital officials tell me they made the decision because the patient had recently travelled from Malaba, at the Kenya-Ugandan border. Important to note there’s no known case of #Ebola in Malaba or anywhere in Eastern Uganda.
The outbreak of #Ebola in South-Western Uganda is so far being controlled. There’s no confirmed case currently in Uganda. 98 contacts are being monitored. Uganda has kept border with DRC open.

#Ebola: +15 cases today. These cases were recorded on April 30; they bring the total for the month to a whopping 406 cases. That is more than the 2 previous worst months (March & January) combined. Let's dig a little further. 1/
2. Sources tell me none of the 14 cases were vaccinated. In the past 3 days 56 #Ebola cases have been reported. Only 1 was vaccinated, and late, I think. Vaccine refusal & the insecurity hampering vaccination efforts are really driving this outbreak now.
3. I compared January, which had lots of cases but when huge numbers of vaccine doses were given, to April. The comparison is telling. April had 2.5 times the number of #Ebola cases — but less vaccine was use. Of course January was before the major attacks on Ebola teams began.

#Ebola thread: Sorry this is so late; another disease demanded my attention. And the news here is so routinely awful I barely know where to start. This outbreak is really, really not going well.
Here's what I see:
2. @MinSanteRDC reports +14 cases today. This reporting week is 2 days old & there have already been 22 #Ebola cases. They also report 10 deaths, 7 of them community deaths. The people who looked after those dying patients will be cases themselves in the next week or 2. Fact.
3. So the outbreak totals are now 1168 cases & 741 deaths. After the West African outbreak (admitted still far, far bigger) I naively thought the world would never let an #Ebola outbreak get big again.
I was wrong.
