非洲疾控中心總幹事Jean Kaseya博士公開敦促美國解除對烏干達實施的旅行限制,並指出這些限制已不再得到當前公共衛生數據的支持。
Jean Kaseya, the Director-General of Africa CDC, publicly urged the United States to lift travel restrictions imposed on Uganda, noting that they are no longer supported by current public health data.
這項請求源於烏干達於2026年7月16日成功讓最後一名伊波拉患者出院的消息,該國隨即開始了被宣佈為「伊波拉零感染」國家所需的42天監測期。
This plea follows the news that Uganda successfully discharged its last Ebola patient on July 16, 2026, beginning the 42-day surveillance period required to be declared Ebola-free.
非洲疾控中心長期以來一直認為,全面性的旅行禁令會適得其反。
The Africa CDC has long maintained that blanket travel bans are counterproductive.
此類措施往往會阻礙重要醫療物資和專家的流動,同時造成經濟困難。
While the outbreak remains severe in the Democratic Republic of Congo with over 2,300 cases, the Africa CDC argues that global health security depends on solidarity and financial support rather than isolation.
鑑於預計需要14億美元的資金用於遏制疫情,該機構倡導以科學為基礎的合作,而非單方面的邊境封鎖,以有效管理區域性的衛生危機。
