New Ebola Public Health Emergency of International Concern
The ninth, since PHEICs exist, and the third one due to Ebola.
The differences with the previous PHEIC declaration in DRC, back in 2018, are significant. That one was declared as a PHEIC one year after the outbreak was locally declared, and after 4 meetings of the Emergency Committee. The 2026 outbreak has been declared only two days after the local official declaration by the RDC Ministry of Health, and with no meeting of the Emergency Committee.
