India sent emergency pharmaceutical supplies to support efforts to contain the Ebola outbreak in Congo, the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention said on Wednesday.
Ethiopia-headquartered Africa CDC said the consignment, donated by India, was received in Uganda by its Eastern Africa Regional Coordinating Centre.
The supplies include essential diagnostics, therapeutics, infection prevention and control materials, and case management support, which will be deployed to affected communities in eastern DR Congo, it said.
Africa CDC praised India for its continued commitment to improving health security across Africa. India has strengthened healthcare cooperation with African nations in recent years, especially during emergencies like the COVID-19 pandemic and the current Ebola crisis.
