AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Ebola Response in Eastern DRC: WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus is in Kinshasa and Ituri, urging stronger international support and “community ownership” as the Bundibugyo strain spreads across three provinces and into Uganda; the outbreak is described as complex, with conflict, displacement, weak labs, and distrust slowing contact tracing and care. New Case Counts: Congo’s confirmed figures keep climbing, with reports citing 321 confirmed cases and 48 deaths, alongside hundreds of suspected cases and ongoing lab backlogs. Treatment & Prevention Science: Moderna is advancing a potential mRNA vaccine with CEPI funding, while WHO is pushing new approaches including a trial of an antiviral pill for post-exposure prevention. Aid & Policy Pressure: UK officials admit aid cuts have been counterproductive, and WHO warns travel bans and border closures can undermine transparency and response. Wildlife Link: Experts highlight how hunting and processing wild animals can raise zoonotic risk, putting “one health” measures at the center of prevention. Tech & Industry Watch: Separate from health, DRC approved higher royalties for strategic minerals, including lithium and cobalt-linked inputs, signaling a push to capture more value from critical minerals. Regional Politics: An open letter urges Burundi not to extradite a Kivu researcher, reflecting wider tensions around rights and accountability.
