20 Years After Its Own Outbreak, an Ugandan Town Beats Back Ebola

Ugandan town Bundibugyo has successfully managed to combat the Ebola outbreak 20 years after its own experience with the disease. The town was the origin of the Bundibugyo Ebola virus, which was first discovered there in 2007. The virus has now resurfaced in eastern Congo, causing disruptions to daily life in the region, particularly on the busy border. Local efforts in Bundibugyo have helped to prevent the spread of the disease, providing a model for other affected areas.
