Uganda has officially beaten Ebola — the last patient cleared in mid-June, thanks to swift quarantine, smart public health moves, and zero new cases. The outbreak started when Congolese patients crossed the border, and Uganda’s quick response — including canceling big gatherings and halting flights — helped contain it. But Congo’s crisis is spiraling: over 3,200 cases, 1,400 deaths, and spreading faster than any before — fueled by hard-to-reach areas and violence that’s hampered aid. With no vaccine or treatment for the Bundibugyo strain, and fruit bats as the natural source, the world watches as Congo’s outbreak threatens to become the deadliest in history.
