African health ministers are convening for an extraordinary virtual meeting to address the Ebola outbreak following Nigeria's first reported case. Dr. Jean Kaseya emphasized the need for a collective response to the epidemic, which has already claimed thousands of lives since its resurgence in Congo. The meeting is set for October 28, as Nigeria tracks 44 contacts of the infected traveler from Uganda. The World Health Organization has urged regional countries to maintain high preparedness levels amid the ongoing outbreak in the DRC, where the rare Bundibugyo strain is spreading rapidly. Despite vaccination efforts, the situation remains critical with over 4,600 deaths reported.
