IFRC posted a photo:

Ebola outbreaks are handled with the utmost care. Unfortunately, epidemic outbreaks in Uganda are becoming more and more frequent. In the last 12 years, Uganda has been hit with four Ebola outbreaks.

Also in 2012, Uganda encountered two outbreaks of Cholera and one outbreak of Marburg. Similar to the Ebola outbreaks, the Uganda Red Cross provided essential health and hygiene information to nearly seven million people in all affected areas of the country to help stop the diseases from spreading.
