The proposal was presented during a meeting between a visiting Africa CDC delegation and Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni at State House Entebbe, according to an official statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the meeting, the delegation briefed Museveni on the current status of the Ebola outbreak and assured him that the situation was being appropriately managed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jean Kaseya, director-general of Africa CDC, emphasized the need to establish the continental support team in Kampala to enhance coordination and monitoring efforts in responding to Ebola.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Ebola only becomes deadly when there is a lack of attention. Otherwise, it is very manageable,” said Museveni, who welcomed the proposal and pledged Uganda’s full support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
