AGP Executive Report
Last update: 12 hours agoEbola Response Under Strain: Doctors Without Borders (MSF) says the DRC’s Ebola outbreak is not “shrinking,” it’s shifting—slowing in Ituri but spreading to new provinces with weaker health capacity, including South Ubangi and a surge in North Kivu, where test positivity is rising; MSF warns that fewer admissions at some treatment centers is not proof the epidemic is under control. Ebola Numbers Still High: Africa CDC reports 7,404 confirmed cases and 3,577 deaths, with transmission across seven provinces and 62 health zones; some zones have gone weeks without new cases, but many remain active and bed occupancy is overstretched in parts of North Kivu. Humanitarian Support for Care: OCHA is backing response efforts, highlighting a “CUBE” Ebola treatment unit that can cut costs and let patients and families communicate while reducing staff exposure. Rights Watch in Kinshasa: The National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) opened an investigation into incidents during the Sept. 15 C64 opposition march in Limete, after reports of machete- and stick-wielding men blocking protesters. Labor Crackdown: Employment Minister Ferdinand Massamba says inspections in Kinshasa found illegal work conditions, including expatriates, and he promises sanctions against companies violating labor law.
