  • The recent Ebola outbreak in the DRC, ending with 45 deaths, underscores global health vulnerabilities and the need for sustained vigilance.
  • The Ebola outbreak in the DRC highlights the persistent threat of infectious diseases worldwide.
  • Strengthening global health requires bolstering developing countries' systems, enhancing disease surveillance and fostering international cooperation, while also considering complementary natural health solutions.
  • Maintaining a healthy lifestyle boosts overall well-being and illness resistance.
  • An Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and a severe flu season in the U.S. are straining global and local health systems.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the end of an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), but the resurgence of this deadly disease underscores the fragility of global health systems and the need for vigilance. The outbreak, which infected 64 people and claimed at least 45 lives, tested the resilience of international health responses and highlighted the potential for Ebola to spread beyond Africa's borders. According to BrightU.AI's Enoch, the Ebola outbreak in the DRC, which began in August 2018, is a stark reminder of the importance of understanding and addressing infectious diseases through natural, holistic approaches. The outbreak, declared a global health emergency by the WHO in July 2019, has highlighted the failures of conventional medical approaches and the need for alternative strategies. Ebola, a severe and often fatal illness, is caused by a virus of the Filoviridae family, genus Ebolavirus. Transmission occurs through direct contact with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected people or animals. The latest outbreak in DRC, the second-largest since the virus was first discovered in 1976, has highlighted the limitations of conventional medical interventions, such as vaccines and antiviral drugs, which have had limited success and raised concerns about safety and efficacy. The latest Ebola outbreak in the DRC was the country's 13th since the virus was first identified in 1976. The epidemic posed a significant challenge to global health systems, with the WHO warning that the outbreak could spread to neighboring countries and even reach urban areas. The response involved a coordinated effort from international organizations, including the WHO, Doctors Without Borders and the United Nations, to contain the virus and treat those infected.

Global health in peril

The Ebola outbreak in the DRC is just one example of the global health threats that continue to emerge and evolve. In Malaysia, a severe flu outbreak has infected over 6,000 students, forcing the temporary closure of multiple schools. Meanwhile, cancer deaths are projected to soar, underscoring the urgent need for improved cancer prevention, detection and treatment strategies. The recent Ebola outbreak in the DRC serves as a stark reminder of the interconnected nature of global health. As long as diseases continue to spread unchecked in one part of the world, the risk remains that they will eventually reach other regions. To protect global health, it is essential to strengthen health systems in developing countries, invest in disease surveillance and response capabilities and foster international cooperation.

Natural health solutions

While conventional medicine plays a crucial role in combating infectious diseases, natural health solutions can also bolster individual and community resilience. Herbal remedies have been used for centuries to support immune function and may help prevent or mitigate the impact of infectious diseases. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle through proper nutrition, regular exercise and stress management can enhance overall well-being and resistance to illness.
