The United States has pledged $50 million to the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) to develop countermeasures against a rare Ebola strain affecting Africa. This funding will aid laboratory research, clinical trials, and manufacturing efforts, particularly targeting the Bundibugyo strain, which has led to significant outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda.
