Nchi Zenye Ugonjwa wa Ebola Mpaka Sasa (2026)

Kwa sasa (Julai 2026), nchi ambazo zimethibitisha kuwa na mlipuko wa Ebola ni:

1. 🇨🇩 Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo (DRC) – ndiyo kitovu cha mlipuko mkubwa unaoendelea. Hadi tarehe 26 Julai 2026, DRC imeripoti zaidi ya visa 3,200 vilivyothibitishwa na zaidi ya vifo 1,400.
2. 🇺🇬 Uganda – iliripoti maambukizi yaliyohusishwa na mlipuko wa DRC. Jumla ya visa 20 vilivyothibitishwa na vifo 2 viliripotiwa. Hata hivyo, hakuna visa vipya tangu 21 Juni 2026, na nchi imeanza kipindi cha siku 42 kinachohitajika kabla ya kutangazwa kuwa haina Ebola ikiwa hakuna visa vipya vitakavyotokea.

Kwa sasa hakuna nchi nyingine iliyothibitisha maambukizi ya Ebola yanayoendelea. Nchi jirani kama Rwanda, Burundi, Sudan Kusini, Kenya na Tanzania zinaendelea kuimarisha ufuatiliaji na maandalizi ya kukabiliana na ugonjwa huo kutokana na hatari ya kuingia kwa visa kutoka DRC, lakini hazijatangaza mlipuko wa Ebola.
