Please refer to the attached file. FAST FACTS On May 15, the DRC declared an outbreak of Ebola virus disease (EVD), later confirmed to be caused by the Bundibugyo strain. As November 9, 10, 920 confirmed EVD cases and 5, 323 confirmed deaths had been reported there. On October 5, a case of imported EVD was confirmed in Kenya, where a patient had traveled from the DRC. There have been nine confirmed cases and two fatalities there. On October 26, a case of EVD was confirmed in Nigeria, where the patient had traveled from Uganda. She was medically evacuated to Switzerland and is recovering. No EVD cases have been confirmed in South Sudan or CAR, but risk of cross-border transmission remains high due to transient populations and porous borders with the DRC. In the DRC, the outbreak remains centered in Ituri province, but cases have also been confirmed in Bas-Uélé, Haut-Uélé, North Kivu, North Ubangi, South Kivu, South Ubangi and Tshopo provinces. Uganda, which released its last confirmed case on July 16, has officially declared its outbreak over. OUR RESPONSE Across the region, we are providing case management, infection-prevention and control, screening and triage, risk communication and community engagement, training and preparedness planning. We are supporting more than 41 facilities in the screening, identification and treatment of EVD. Our supported sites in the DRC have conducted more than 1. 2 million EVD screenings and provided treatment to 3, 597 patients, including 1, 076 confirmed cases. We have so far trained 3, 834 people in the DRC on EVD case management, response and transmission prevention. With the support of the US Department of State, DG ECHO, and other donors, International Medical Corps teams across the region are actively responding to the outbreak and collaborating closely with ministries of health, key actors and response partners. International Medical Corps has used a hub-and-spoke model since the outbreak was declared to provide case-management support at designated treatment and transit facilities, strengthen IPC in referring health facilities, conduct screening and triage, support risk communication and community engagement in surrounding communities and train health workers on EVD response protocols. We continue to support screening and preparation efforts in Uganda, which has declared its outbreak over, and to prepare South Sudan for a possible outbreak there. Finally, we are participating in research trials for new therapeutics, working closely with a range of academic and health partners.
