The United States is leading the response to confront the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, remaining the largest financial contributor to this effort. Under President Trump's leadership, the Department of State continues to mobilize resources faster than any other nation. The additional $242 million announced yesterday brings our total direct assistance to the DRC, Uganda, and the broader region to over $512 million, proving that commitment continues. This funding supports preparedness and response efforts to include expanding treatment capacity, strengthening surveillance, and equipping health workers on the front lines.
