The outbreak is the largest Ebola disease outbreak recorded in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with 7 890 confirmed cases and 3 799 deaths by 23 September 2026 [56].

OUTBREAK

Scale

WHO notes a continuing high rate of deaths in communities, which points to late detection and care [56].

SECURITY

Detection delay

WHO publishes counts and risk assessments in each notice and advises against travel and trade restrictions [56].

B.5How countries appear in the health edition

Countries enter the health edition through the health chapters of their own national editions, on one card grammar. They are read against peer distributions and thresholds, never ranked.

How to read a country card

  • Each system is shown against the distribution of its peers, with thresholds where they exist
  • Couplings and risk objects come from the country’s own national edition
  • Capability rungs record evidence, not a judgement of institutions
  • Evidence age is printed, so older national data are visible as such
