AGP Executive Report

Last update: 38 minutes ago

Ebola emergency escalates in Congo: Aid groups and healthcare workers in Bunia say the outbreak is “gaining momentum” and spreading across more areas, with no vaccine or medicine available for the Bundibugyo strain; authorities report 139 suspected deaths and nearly 600 suspected cases, while armed groups continue to threaten response efforts. South Africa backs the response: SA has pledged R41.2m toward Africa’s Ebola efforts in the DRC and Uganda, supporting surveillance, labs, infection prevention and rapid cross-border preparedness. Joburg service strain meets political spin: Mayor Dada Morero says most residents still get basic services and that healthcare remains trusted, even as residents report water shortages, failing infrastructure and crime. Private healthcare reform setback for state control: South Africa’s Constitutional Court struck down “Certificate of Need” provisions that would have let the health minister dictate where doctors and facilities could operate. Gauteng SASSA warning: Disability grant applicants are being urged to use clinics/CHCs for medical verification forms instead of hospitals to avoid avoidable charges. Local health access pressure: Residents in Phoenix, north of Durban, complain of persistent pipe leaks flooding homes and raising health risks.
