Safe blood saves lives. It comes from healthy, voluntary unpaid donors and is protected by rigorous testing, strict safety standards and safe transfusion practices. In fact, every donation forms a shared lifeline of solidarity, compassion and care. #GiveBlood today.

Good news! Safe blood supplies have been expanding worldwide, increasing steadily over the past decade. More than 120 million blood donations were made in 2023, and over 85% of whole blood donations came from voluntary unpaid donors. Yet, access to safe blood remains deeply unequal. Stronger investment in national blood systems is critical to ensure that everyone can access life-saving transfusions. Learn more bit.ly/4eeY17z #GiveBlood

WHO Rapid Risk Assessment on #Ebola caused by Bundibugyo virus in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda:   The risk assessment has been revised: 🔴 Very high at the national level in #DRC 🟠 High for #Uganda 🟠 High for countries sharing land borders with DRC and Uganda 🔵 Low for the rest of the Africa region and at the global level   The risk in DRC remains very high, because: ⚠️ The outbreak has continued to expand rapidly in terms of numbers of cases and geographical spread with more areas affected ⚠️ Epidemiological links and the full chain of transmission are not yet clearly established, and the source of the outbreak remains under investigation ⚠️ Ongoing conflict restricts movement of frontline responders and surveillance teams ⚠️ Community fear and misinformation hinder case detection, contact tracing, and isolation, and potentially facilitate disease spread ⚠️ Limited healthcare infrastructure and delays in laboratory confirmation, although these are being scaled up by DRC, with support of partners   WHO continues to support DRC to put an end to this outbreak bit.ly/3Sgobhn

A moment of hope in the #Ebola response. Today, in Mongbwalu, Ituri, the province at the centre of the outbreak in #DRC, the first survivor there was discharged from care and reunited with his community. In Nyankunde, eight patients were released today, too. Their recovery is a testament to their strength and the dedication of health workers providing lifesaving care under challenging conditions. It is also a reminder that many people can survive Ebola when they receive care early and safely.

Yesterday I visited Mulago National Referral Hospital in Kampala, where a separate unit has been prepared to treat #Ebola patients. I'm glad for the opportunity to meet with health workers in charge and thank them for their dedication. I am very happy with all the work invested in preparedness and readiness that I have witnessed. I commend the Government of #Uganda for the work being done to control Ebola and provide care for those affected. Uganda’s leadership has been central to the response, and @WHO remains committed to supporting national efforts to stop transmission, save lives and protect communities. Mwebale nnyo.
