The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) has called for urgent action to contain the growing Ebola outbreak and is convening African health ministers to coordinate the response, as Nigeria becomes the latest country to confirm a case.
The outbreak began in Congo and has so far also spread to Kenya and Uganda; the latter said it has no cases at the moment. Such geographic spread across Central, Eastern and Western Africa demands urgent, coordinated action, Africa CDC said.
