Briefings

The World Health Organization (WHO) is strengthening Ebola preparedness in 22 countries across three continents due to ongoing conflict and displacement affecting millions of lives. This initiative aims to ensure medical capacity exists where outbreaks are most likely to occur. The current evidence indicates a strategic expansion of readiness measures rather than a specific outbreak response or a completed global rollout.
