AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Ebola Response Upgrade: The DRC’s Ebola outbreak has crossed 8,000 cases and nears 4,000 deaths, and WHO notes shifting trends across provinces—Ituri down while North Kivu rises—while many deaths still happen before people reach treatment. Mobility Mapping for Prevention: Health teams are using anonymised mobile phone data to predict where Ebola could spread next by tracking travel between towns, aiming to prepare high-risk areas earlier. Mpox Lab Accuracy Push: Swiss researchers report that about 35% of mpox PCR positives in DRC cities may be false alarms from contaminated samples, a finding that could reshape surveillance and reduce harm to patients wrongly diagnosed. AI Mineral Hunt: US firm KoBold Metals is deploying AI-directed exploration in the DRC to find critical minerals like lithium, targeting a race to reduce reliance on China’s copper and cobalt dominance. New Antiviral Trial in Kinshasa: NanoViricides has started a Phase II trial of NV-387 for mpox in the DRC, using oral gummies and enrolling first patients under a Kinshasa-based lead investigator. Digital Payments Drive: Visa Pay in the DRC adds Fally Ipupa as brand ambassador, tying the push for cashless payments to the Central Bank’s 2027 agenda. Health Policy Meets Travel Limits: Canada’s Ebola-related visa ban is set to expire soon, but DRC families say it has disrupted weddings and schooling and argue for testing or quarantine alternatives.
