World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus provides an update on global health emergencies, saying the global hantavirus outbreak is officially over. He also reports that Ebola outbreaks are increasing in parts of Africa, indicating a continuing need for surveillance and response activities on the continent. In addition to developments in Africa, Tedros highlights WHO support for recovery efforts following a recent earthquake in Venezuela, where responders are assisting communities impacted by the disaster. The update is presented as part of WHO’s regular communication on emergency situations and reflects multiple concurrent health challenges worldwide. Across the reporting, the key points are the end of the global hantavirus outbreak, the worsening or expansion of Ebola activity in Africa, and the continuation of WHO-coordinated or supported response work in Venezuela after the quake.
