7. WHO Allocates Additional $2 Million to Support Uganda's Ebola Response

The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced the allocation of an additional $2 million to assist Uganda in its ongoing fight against the Ebola outbreak, bringing the total funding to $3 million in just three weeks ...

On January 30, WHO initially provided $1 million and mobilized trial vaccines to help Uganda’s national health authorities contain the outbreak. Uganda declared an Ebola outbreak last month after a 32-year-old male nurse, working at the Mulago National Referral Hospital in Kampala, tragically succumbed to the disease.

As of Wednesday, Uganda’s Ministry of Health confirmed nine laboratory-positive Ebola virus infections, including one death. Health authorities are closely monitoring at least 265 contacts of the initial case to prevent further transmission.

Ebola is a viral hemorrhagic fever caused by viruses from the Ebolavirus genus. Symptoms can start with flu-like signs but can progress to severe vomiting, bleeding, and neurological issues. The virus is primarily transmitted to humans from infected animals, such as bats, nonhuman primates, and antelope, and can spread from person to person during outbreaks ...

9. How Does Trump's Withdrawal from the WHO Jeopardise Global Health Security?

By Nimra Javed

On 20 January 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order withdrawing the United States (US) from the World Health Organization (WHO). This decision reverberated across the globe, not just for its immediate financial implications but for the far-reaching consequences for global health security. At a time when the world faces complex challenges—including climate change-driven health risks, the rise of new pathogens, and the growing dual-use concerns of artificial intelligence (AI) and synthetic biology—this withdrawal significantly weakens a key pillar of international health governance. As the single largest financial and technical contributor to the WHO, the withdrawal puts billions of lives at risk and undermines global progress on disease control, health equity, and pandemic preparedness ...
