Today with David McCullagh · Ebola outbreak risks being worst on record · 27 May 2026 podcast

There are supplies of that currently available.

Whether they will continue to be available is one of the main preoccupations that we have here.

With this kind of outbreak in general, obviously, the faster we can respond, the more we can limit the spread and limit the ongoing impact of this disease.

So it's really something we need to act very decisively, very quickly to maintain or to contain the disease and to make sure that we can do that.

The longer this goes on, the harder it will be to respond.

And so we're acutely aware of the urgency of the situation.

Well, as concerned, we've responded to a number of different outbreaks in the DRC.

This has been from cholera outbreaks, COVID-19, as you mentioned, and previous Ebola outbreaks.

So we've got quite a lot of experience in making sure that people are very well informed.

And we're taking a three-pronged approach, one of which is information, exactly as you say.

So how can we make sure that the community is incredibly well informed in how this disease is transmitted, how they can protect themselves and their families, and also just make sure they have information on who to contact and how to contact them if they do suspect a case in the family.

But it's not just information that's got to do the work.

We need to do significant work on preparation.

So we're already mobilizing our emergency response teams to make sure that

Access to water, which is a huge issue in the area, is deeply improved.

Hygiene practices are reinforced.

And there's proper sanitation available.

So this is something that is transmitted through bodily fluids.

So anything that can rehabilitate water points, construct latrines and showers, and also providing hygiene kits for households.

And that can be as simple as providing buckets, plastic basins, soap, clothes detergent, menstrual hygiene products.
