How does Ebola spread?

Ebola spreads through direct contact with the blood, vomit, stool and other body fluids of an infected person, including someone who has died from the disease.

Transmission can also occur through:
🔹 Unsafe burial practices.
🔹 Contaminated clothing, bedding, needles and other materials.
🔹 Contact with infected bats and other wild animals, including unsafe handling of bushmeat.

Adhere to guidance from public health authorities and practise proper hand hygiene to keep yourself and others safe.

This week, the Joint UK AMR Offer and LAFIYA AMR Project kicked off with a stakeholder meeting convening the NCDC, Federal Ministries of Health and Social Welfare, Livestock Development and Environment, UKHSA, and One Health partners.

Key priorities of the package include sustaining 10 human health sentinel sites, strengthening laboratory quality assurance and data generation, promoting antimicrobial stewardship, and improving AMR governance and subnational coordination.
