Here's hoping @vandapharma long fired the genius who recommended a court challenge to FDA's imposition of a clinical hold over a friggin' toxicity study. Talk about penny wise and pound foolish.

🇺🇬 A moment of hope for Uganda and the continent!
Uganda has officially discharged its last Ebola patient, a Congolese national who has made a full recovery and is now reunited with his family. This marks a powerful milestone as Uganda begins the crucial 42-day countdown to declare the outbreak over, in line with international health protocols.
Today’s discharge ceremony at Mulago National Isolation Unit brought together the Minister for Health, Hon. Dr Chris Baryomunsi (@CHRISBARYOMUNS1), Prof. Olaro Charles (@olaro_charles), Mr Kenneth Akiiri, and senior leaders from Africa CDC, @WHOUganda, @UNICEFUganda, and @MinofHealthUG.
Africa CDC celebrates the resilience, dedication, and teamwork of the Government of Uganda, health workers, and all partners. No new confirmed cases since 21 June: a testament to the unwavering commitment of national authorities and the Continental Incident Management Support Team (IMST).
