Last update: 5 hours agoEbola Crisis in DR Congo: The DRC’s Ebola outbreak has surged to 4,945 confirmed cases and 2,325 deaths, now the deadliest in the country’s history, with health officials warning the true toll may be higher as the Bundibugyo strain spreads faster than past outbreaks and response teams struggle with conflict, remoteness, and limited tools.

Cholera Funding Boost: The EU has approved €2.3m emergency support for cholera response across Nigeria, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and Chad, focusing on treatment capacity, surveillance, water and sanitation, and community risk communication. Health Tech Governance: A patient-focused discussion highlights how weak governance in ambient listening tools can threaten privacy, data security, and patient control over recordings—issues that matter as AI moves deeper into care.
