Yes I did,

On 24 July 2012, the Ministry of Health of Uganda notified WHO of an outbreak of Ebola haemorrhagic fever from Kibaale district, mid-western Uganda [6]. The first case belonged to a family in Nyanswiga village in Nyamarunda sub-county in Kibaale district. As of 31 July 2012, 38 cases, including 16 deaths, have been reported.

Laboratory investigations conducted at the Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI), Entebbe, Uganda, confirmed Ebola virus, subtype Sudan.

The main affected area is the Kibaale district, a forested area about 200 kilometres west of the Ugandan capital, Kampala, and near the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In Kampala, the Ugandan Ministry of Health has confirmed one case, a healthcare worker in Kibaale district, who was treated in the hospital and who subsequently died.

According to WHO, the Ugandan Ministry of Health has activated the National Task Force to review progress and provide daily media briefs and the Kibaale district Ebola Task Force to coordinate the field response. The neighbouring districts have been put on high alert and are enhancing surveillance.

A team of experts from the Ministry of Health, WHO, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) Spain, MSF Holland and the Red Cross are in Kibaale to support the response operations.

Contacts exposed to suspected, probable and confirmed cases are being identified for active follow-up.

Kibaale hospital has established an isolation ward for suspected, probable and confirmed cases. Currently, there are 18 admitted cases on the isolation ward.

RAPID RISK ASSESSMENT Ebola haemorrhagic fever in Uganda 2 August 2012

Holland has mobilised resources for setting up an isolation centre at the hospital. Although the Ministry of Health and Mulago National Referral Hospital have mobilised some staff to manage the isolation centre, more are urgently needed.

Media attention for haemorrhagic fever outbreaks is usually particularly high and increases the risk perception. The media in Uganda are currently reporting additional cases for some other Ugandan districts [8], while the media in Kenya have reported a suspected case having travelled from Sudan through Uganda to seek medical attention in Kenya, presenting with signs of haemorrhagic fever [9]. However, this information should be considered with caution as it has not been confirmed by official sources.

Control activities already in place are active case finding and contact tracing, enhanced surveillance and reinforcing infection control practices, case management and social mobilization.
