The World Health Organization unveiled a six-month plan to stamp out the current Bundibugyo Ebola virus outbreak in Africa, including a major scale-up of point-of-care molecular diagnostics. WHO said it will expand a KH Medical point-of-care PCR system while strengthening reference laboratory capacity for testing and sequencing-based surveillance. WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the effort requires about $518 million. Africa CDC director-general Jean Kaseya noted the outbreak has already surpassed earlier Bundibugyo case counts at comparable timepoints and emphasized that delays in diagnostics can amplify case-fatality.
