M7 Address regarding Ebola outbreak in Uganda

By H.E Yoweri Kaguta T Museveni Published Thursday 13th October 2022

Countrymen & countrywomen, regarding the Ebola outbreak, our country has the capacity to control this epidemic. The government is doing everything possible to ensure your safety. As I indicated in my address, a confirmed case was admitted at Kiruddu Hospital from Mubende & died.

24 contacts are under quarantine. There have been a lot of rumours and anxiety about confirmed cases of Ebola in Kampala City, specifically Kiruddu Hospital. I would like to inform the general public that there is no confirmed case of Ebola in Kampala City.

However, this event shows you the possibility of Ebola erupting in Kampala if we remain careless and defiant to medical advice. In addition, because of the current epidemic, there are so many people reporting signs and symptoms similar to Ebola within Kampala and Wakiso.

Several such alert cases have been tested and the results have turned out to be negative. The Ministry of Health teams will continue to investigate any such cases and inform the public accordingly. bit.ly/3eqjqOL
