India has not reported any case of Ebola disease so far amid heightened concerns over its spread.

Reviewing preparedness and surveillance measures for Ebola disease in view of the recent outbreak in some parts of Africa, Union Health Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda said “India has not reported any case of Bundibugyo Ebola disease till date.”

However, following the declaration of Ebola as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Public Health Emergency of Continental Security (PHECS) by the Africa CDC, India is closely monitoring the Ebola situation in Africa and has proactively intensified surveillance and preparedness measures across the country as an abundant precaution to safeguard public health.
