Ebola Threat Intensifies in Africa, Raising Concerns for Nepal

The Ebola disease, caused by the Bundibugyo virus, is rapidly spreading in Congo and Uganda, leading the World Health Organization to declare it a "Public Health Emergency of International Concern." With 80 deaths reported, the outbreak poses a risk of international spread, similar to the Monkeypox virus. While the Bundibugyo virus has a lower mortality rate than other Ebola species, concerns remain about healthcare worker infection and Nepal's preparedness, highlighting the need for a well-equipped infectious disease hospital.
