## Transcript

Today I had a call with the Minister of Health of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Minister, Roger Kamba, concerning the new outbreak of Ebola disease in the country's northeastern Ituri province. And on the 5th of May, W.H.O. received a signal of suspected cases and sent a team to Ituri to support DRC health officials in their investigation of the outbreak and collect samples in the field, which initially tested negative for Ebola. Today, I have released 500 zero zero 0 USD from the contingency fund for emergencies to immediately support the response. Well, we know very well that the country has experienced, but the region where it is happening is highly volatile.

With the humanitarian situation going on and the population moving around from South Sudan to Uganda and other parts. So our response is to stand with the regional government, with the regional government and the country neighbor in terms of solidarity, to show, again that they can control this outbreak. We also have vaccines that can be pre-positioned. Uh, DRC has experience with working with vaccines before. So as this outbreak unfolds, as more information becomes available, we are ready to provide those through mechanisms that already exist. Um, should it turn out to be a strain that can be a vaccine where a vaccine can be used?
