Ugandan Minister of Health Jane Ruth Aceng announced Uganda has successfully controlled the spread of Ebola. a two-week delay in declaring the outbreak after the first probable death from Ebola meant “the opportunity for immediate quarantine of contacts was lost.” A member of the Ugandan Medical staff of the Ebola Treatment Unit stands inside the ward in Personal Protective Equipment at Mubende Regional Referral Hospital in Uganda.Unlike the more common strain of the virus, Ebola Zaire, which has been behind several recent epidemics in neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo, the strain behind Uganda’s outbreak, Ebola Sudan, has no proven vaccine.
