Whenever fever strikes nine-year-old Joshua Ekimwere in his rural Ogaramio village, getting help has not always been easy. For his grandmother, Akurut Dinah Loy, a suspected malaria infection often meant difficult choices. Either finding money for transport and medicine, missing a day's work, or waiting anxiously while his condition worsens. For years, this was the reality for many families in rural Uganda. Community-based malaria services helped protect children under five, but older children and adults often had to travel long distances to a health facility just to find out whether they had malaria and begin treatment. Today, that is changing. Through a Ministry of Health-led initiative, Village Health Teams (VHTs) and Community Health Extension Workers (CHEWs) are being trained and equipped to test people of all ages using rapid diagnostic tests and provide free lifesaving treatment within their communities. For Akurut Dinah Loy and her family, the difference has been significant. “It is frightening to watch a child become sick and not know how quickly you can get help. Having services nearby has changed a lot for our family,” she said. “Now, when Joshua gets sick, I no longer think first about the journey to the health facility. I think about getting him help quickly.” Improving access to timely care Uganda has made remarkable progress in the fight against malaria. Since 2000, malaria-related deaths have fallen by more than 50%, reflecting sustained investments in prevention, diagnosis and treatment. Yet malaria remains one of the country's most significant public health challenges. In 2025, an estimated 13.2 million malaria cases were reported, meaning roughly one in every 20 malaria cases worldwide occurred in Uganda. WHO estimates that between 16,000 and 20,000 people died from malaria during the same year. Many challenges affecting the fight against malaria include people reaching health services too late, waiting more than 24 hours after symptoms begin before seeking care and relying on poor-quality medicines or fail to complete treatment. These delays increase the risk of severe illness and place additional pressure on families and the health system. The expansion of community-based malaria services is helping address these challenges by making diagnosis and treatment available where people live, particularly in areas where access to health facilities remains difficult. For Dr Cathrine Maiteki Sebuguzi, Deputy Programme Manager at the National Malaria Elimination Department, timely access to care is critical to sustaining Uganda's progress. “Reaching communities where transmission occurs is the foundation of our efforts towards malaria elimination. Through this initiative, we are ensuring timely diagnosis, prompt treatment and protection of those most at risk,” said Dr Cathrine. Strengthening primary health care and advancing equity The initiative does more than improve access to malaria services. It strengthens primary health care by expanding the role of community health workers and ensuring that essential services reach people who might otherwise be left behind. Today, approximately 85,000 VHT members provide community-based health services across Uganda. Extending malaria diagnosis and treatment to all age groups helps address a larger reservoir of infection while improving equity in access to essential health services. The expansion of VHTs and CHEWs is part of Uganda's 24-2 Hours Initiative, which aims to ensure malaria diagnosis and treatment within 24 hours of symptom onset and lifesaving pre-referral treatment for severe malaria within two hours. By reaching rural, peri-urban and underserved communities, the initiative is helping accelerate progress towards Universal Health Coverage. “When health services are available closer to home, people can get help earlier. That is especially important for malaria, where timely diagnosis and treatment can save lives,” said Dr Christine Chiedza Musanhu, Team Lead for Disease Prevention and Control, WHO Uganda. “Community-based care also helps us reach people who might otherwise be left behind.” The programme is supported through a broad partnership involving the Global Fund, the United States Government and UNICEF. For Akurut Dinah Loy, the success of this initiative means knowing that when Joshua develops a fever, help is no longer a distant journey away. “As a grandmother, nothing is more important than seeing my grandchildren healthy. Knowing they can be tested and treated quickly gives our family comfort and hope,” added Loy. For families across Uganda, timely access to malaria services means fewer delays, less uncertainty and a better chance of receiving treatment when it matters most. And for Uganda, it is another step towards a future where no family's health is determined by how far they live from care. Distributed by APO Group on behalf of WHO Regional Office for Africa.
Authorities in Abuja confirmed their first case of infection in an individual arriving from Uganda, which borders the worst-hit provinces in DRC. “The source of exposure is still not known and the travel history of the patient is being pieced together now in terms of her movement from Uganda up to Nigeria,” said Dr Patrick Otim, from the UN World Health Organization (WHO)’s Emergency Response programme, in an online update. “This is rapidly evolving. As we get more information, we’ll try to determine where she was exposed. And then it’s at that point where we can say whether there is any transmission happening.” Nigeria is the fifth country this year after DRC, France, Uganda and Kenya to confirm the presence of Ebola disease caused by Bundibugyo virus. The original DRC outbreak was declared in mid-May where it has led to more than 4,600 deaths and a total of 9,552 confirmed infections. Around six in 10 of these deaths have occurred outside health centres, indicating the continuing difficulty of halting community transmission. The latest DRC province to confirm infections is Nord Ubangi, which borders Central African Republic, where ongoing armed violence continues to uproot thousands of people, increasing the difficulty of halting transmission. Nairobi controls The Kenyan authorities have reported a total of nine cases of infection including one death earlier this month, of a Kenyan national who had been working in DRC before flying back to Nairobi via Entebbe, Uganda. Uganda previously recorded two deaths and 20 confirmed cases of infection, before officially declaring the Ebola threat over at the end of August. “Immediately after [the death of the Kenyan patient], we commenced on contact tracing,” said Dr Patrick Amoth, Director General of Kenya’s Ministry of Health, adding that 135 contacts with the deceased patient have been traced “and we have been able to account for them, 100 per cent”. According to the Nigerian authorities, the patient developed symptoms on 7 October and sought care at a clinic before being hospitalised 48 hours later. Genetic sequencing of the infection is underway to confirm that it is the same Ebola Bundibugyo disease circulating inside DRC. More than 40 close contacts have been identified to date, WHO has said. “All the Infection Prevention and Control measures have been put in place to try to ensure that the risk of amplification of transmission within the health facilities is limited,” said WHO’s Dr Otim. “The message is being passed to all the private facilities within [Abuja] and also all the other health facilities within the country to step up.” Vaccine research ongoing Inside DRC, in addition to the essential work of contact tracing, vaccination research is ongoing using Ervebo vaccine, which was originally designed for and is effective against Ebola disease caused by Zaire virus, in a bid to find out if it provides protection against Ebola Bundibugyo. “We still do not have preliminary data yet as to whether there is…sufficient cross-protection between the Ervebo vaccine – which is for the Zaire species – and the Bundibugyo species. As soon as we get it, we'll be able to share that information,” Dr Otim told journalists. Remote communities hardest-hit Responding to questions about the Ebola response inside DRC, the UN health agency highlighted ongoing transmission of infection and reports last week of 15 deaths per day in the rural commune of Mangina in Beni territory, North Kivu province. After negotiating access, an emergency response team from WHO arrived there two weeks ago and started working with impacted communities. “There was a lot of community preoccupation and community resistance in the beginning to receive help, it’s a very highly insecure area,” said Dr Anne Ancia, WHO Country Representative in DRC. “Ebola does not wait. It follows movement, exploits gaps and tests the strength of our health systems,” said Dr Mohamed Janabi, Regional Director for WHO Africa, underscoring that the virus is “no longer confined to one place, it is a regional concern”. He added: “We must reach people earlier, bring safe care closer and strengthen trust before fear becomes a barrier to survival. We also know that success is possible where surveillance is strong, where contacts are found and followed.” Distributed by APO Group on behalf of UN News.
