Congolese health authorities, WHO, and Africa CDC are working together on surveillance, laboratory testing, clinical management, safe burials, contact tracing, and community engagement. Response efforts face challenges such as insecurity, displacement, and heavy movement along mining and trade routes, which disrupt access to some communities and healthcare facilities. WHO reported receiving approximately 40% of a $115 million funding appeal to support the response. The focus remains on early detection and rapid isolation, as most new cases are still outside established transmission chains.
