U.N. Says 4-Month Ebola Outbreak in Uganda Is Over
--------------------------------------------------

The World Health Organization has declared that Uganda's worst Ebola
outbreak in more than two decades is over. The four-month outbreak
killed at least 55 people, including at least six health workers. This
is the WHO's Dr. Yonas Tegegn.

Dr. Yonas Tegegn Woldemariam: "This success is not only of Uganda, it's
a global success. And the global health community will learn and follow
Uganda so that Ebola is not as scary, Ebola is not as devastating as we
used to know it."
