The United Nations has launched an emergency appeal to raise $11.2 million to support Uganda’s fight against an Ebola outbreak, following US foreign aid cuts that have strained the country’s health budget.
Uganda declared an Ebola outbreak in January, after a male nurse at the country’s national referral hospital in Kampala died from the highly infectious virus. A second victim, a four-year-old child, also succumbed to the disease last week, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).
