The World Health Organization said that a 4 -year -old child has become the second victim of Ebola in Uganda. While the health officials expected a quick end to the outbreak starting in January, their source of infection has not been detected.

According to the WHO, the child was admitted to the hospital in the main referral facility in Kampala, the capital of the East African country, and died within three days. Who said that its officials are working with the country’s health officials to strengthen the monitoring and connectivity. There were no other details about death and local health officials are not commenting on the case.

This death reduces the claim of outbreak in control after the eight Ebola patients of Ugandan officials already discharged in February. The first victim was a male nurse, who died a day before his death.

The successful treatment of eight patients who were in contact with the man, including some of his relatives, feared the end of the outbreak to the local health authorities. But they are still investigating its source.

Contact tracing is the key to stopping Ebola, officials say

Tresing contact is important to reduce the proliferation of Ebola, and there are no approved vaccines for the Sudan stress of Ebola infecting people in Uganda.

Officials say they screen over 20,000 passengers for Ebola in separate border crossing points in Uganda. WHO has given Uganda at least $ 3 million to support its Ebola response. Nevertheless, there are concerns about sufficient funds in view of the US administration’s decision to abolish 60 percent of USAID foreign aid contracts.
