HEALTH EMERGENCY Declared after Trump DITCHES Agency - Meidas Touch
The WHO has declared a global public health emergency as the Democratic Republic of Congo faces its largest Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak on record.
Today on ELLA: Black and Brown Women Disruptors in Healthcare and Beyond, Dr. Haydée Brown and Dr. Sonya Sloan explain what Ebola is, how it spreads, why this strain is different, and what it means for the United States.
They discuss active traveler screening at major U.S. airports, including Houston, the role of Texas-based BSL-4 laboratories in Ebola research, the latest public health response, and the importance of separating facts from fear. They also examine the impact on Black and Brown communities, health equity concerns, and what you should know to stay informed. - 05/31/2026.
