India’s health ministry says no cases of Ebola virus disease have been reported in the country so far, even as global concern grows over an outbreak in Central Africa. Union Health Minister J P Nadda reviews preparedness and directs authorities to keep preventive mechanisms fully operational. During a high-level meeting with senior officials, Nadda assesses readiness and instructs that Ebola screening arrangements remain vigilant at all points of entry across India, including airports, seaports and land border crossings. The review also calls for strengthened coordination among ministries and agencies involved in surveillance and response. Health officials say the Union Health Secretary chairs a joint review meeting with relevant departments to monitor and enhance preparedness measures. Nadda directs the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) to ensure that arrangements for tracking, testing and surveillance are maintained in a constant state of readiness. The government says it has intensified precautionary measures following international designations by the World Health Organization and Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention. Authorities indicate that surveillance and inter-agency coordination are being monitored to support early detection and prompt action if a suspected case is identified.
