Proceeding contribution from Pauline Latham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 May 2019. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Ebola Outbreak: DRC.


Ebola Outbreak: DRC

Last time I was in Uganda, I was shown the preparations that were being made in case Ebola did come across the border, but I did not feel they were adequate enough. There was one bed, as part of a health facility, which just had a curtain around it. Will my right hon. Friend explain what we are doing to help, because this will not respect the border of a country and it will cross? Will the Secretary of State explain exactly what we are doing to help the countries bordering the DRC to stop it spreading into their country?
