The specialists of Russia's Human Welfare Watchdog Rospotrebnadzor provide consultations to prevent the spread of Ebola fever in Uganda, the agency’s press service told journalists.
According to Rospotrebnadzor, on January 30 of this year, the Ugandan Ministry of Health reported that a health worker had been diagnosed with the disease caused by the Ebola virus.
It was established that most of the contacts were employees of a district hospital in the east of the country, where a mobile laboratory of Rospotrebnadzor was promptly sent.
"Russian specialists are constantly consulting their Ugandan colleagues on the operation of the mobile complex and the rules of biological safety when working with particularly dangerous viruses," the statement said.
Since 2019, a memorandum of cooperation in the field of ensuring the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population has been in effect between the Ministry of Health of Uganda and Rospotrebnadzor.
