Adara Group

We wanted to share an update on the Ebola situation in DRC and the recent cases in Uganda, and what it means for Adara.

You may have seen that WHO has declared this a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. At this stage, we remain grateful that there is no confirmed local transmission in Uganda. The Uganda Ministry of Health (MoH) continues to mount a strong and proactive response.

In Uganda, there have been two confirmed cases so far, both imported from DRC. This is serious but still contained. That said, the outbreak in DRC is significant, so we do need to stay alert.

Uganda – and our teams – have faced this before. We have worked through Ebola outbreaks in close proximity to our project sites over many years, and we know that our team and the Ugandan health worker community is skilled at managing the risk.

Our priority is on staying ahead of this and being practical in our preparation. We know that effective control depends on speed, trust, protecting health workers, clear information for families, and finding cases early before disease spreads.

As always, we are sharply focused on the safety of our teams, their families and the communities that we work with.

Our hearts are with all the families affected. We’ll continue to monitor closely and keep you updated as things evolve.
