Since the official declaration of the Ebola Bundibugyo virus disease on May 15 in eastern DRC, response mechanisms were deployed to ensure swift medical care across affected health zones in Ituri, North Kivu, and South Kivu. As a result, 19 patients have recovered and been discharged from the Ebola treatment center, according to the National Institute of Public Health (INSP).
Health data as of June 7 shows 550 confirmed cases, including 101 deaths, across all affected health zones. Currently, 309 patients remain in isolation receiving care.
Ituri remains the epicenter of the outbreak. Of the 25 affected health zones, 17 are located in this province—nearly half of Ituri’s 36 health zones.
The affected zones include Aru, Aungba, Bambu, Bunia, Damas, Gety, Kilo, Komanda, Lita, Logo, Mambasa, Mangala, Mongbwalu, Nizi, Nyankunde, Rimba, and Rwampara.
