The Ministry of Health, with support from the World Health Organization (WHO), has successfully conducted over 8,000 mpox tests across Uganda, significantly improving the country's ability to detect cases and respond effectively to outbreaks.

Uganda said it "contained" the latest outbreak of the Sudan Ebola virus, which was confirmed by the Health Ministry in late January. The East African country discharged all eight Ebola patients on Tuesday after they tested negative and no new deaths have been reported from the disease.

The number of confirmed Ebola cases in Uganda has risen to nine from three, the country's health ministry said.
