Ebola moves fast.
So must we.
This outbreak involves a strain with no approved vaccine. PATH is working with partners and communities in DRC and Uganda to support rapid response now—and strengthen the tools needed for future outbreaks.
When Ebola appears, the first days matter.
A health worker needs protection.
A family needs trusted information.
A lab needs to confirm a case quickly.
A community needs to know what is happening and what to do next.
This is how outbreaks are stopped: not by one single intervention, but by many practical acts of response coming together at the right moment.
Ebola is now affecting communities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda. This outbreak involves a strain with no approved vaccine, making early detection, frontline protection, community trust, and rapid coordination even more urgent.
PATH has worked with partners in the region for nearly 20 years, building the systems that make fast response possible—surveillance, diagnostics, supply chains, trained health workers, and trusted community relationships.
We’re also advancing better tools—vaccines, diagnostics, treatments, and delivery systems—so communities aren’t left waiting when the next outbreak comes.
Flexible funding lets PATH act quickly, fill urgent gaps, and support both today’s response and tomorrow’s solutions.
Your gift helps PATH stand with the people closest to the crisis—health workers, local leaders, researchers, and communities working to stop Ebola before it spreads further.
Give today to help PATH fight outbreaks like Ebola and ensure resources reach those who need it most, when it matters most.
