Ebola Epidemic Relief Fund

Ebola is one of the world's deadliest diseases. This highly infectious virus can kill up to 90 percent of those who contract it, instilling fear in affected communities.

Due to its infectious nature, patients must be treated in isolation by healthcare staff who wear strict protective equipment and clothing. These safety measures are continually monitored and updated to ensure the safety of both healthcare workers and the community, minimizing risks during response efforts.

On May 15, 2026, the Ministry of Health in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) officially declared an Ebola outbreak. In response, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and the Louison Mbombo Foundation are preparing to rapidly scale up their medical efforts in Ituri province, located in the country's northeast, demonstrating their commitment to effectively combatting this crisis.

Both MSF and the Louison Mbombo Foundation have extensive expertise in responding to Ebola. In June 2020, MSF completed its nearly two-year response to a significant Ebola epidemic in the DRC, which resulted in 2,287 fatalities. Our past experiences, including the 2014 outbreak in West Africa, inform our current efforts to save lives and contain the virus.
