Uganda has announced an end to an Ebola outbreak that claimed more than 50 lives.

This follows a 42-day period without any new confirmed cases.

At a ceremony in Mubende, the health minister Jane Ruth Aceng said, they have successfully controlled the Ebola outbreak in Uganda..

The outbreak, which began last September, caused particular concern as it came from the Sudan strain of Ebola, that has no vaccine.

Reports says Cases were initially concentrated in the central region districts of Mubende and Kassanda, where the outbreak began.

But the epidemic seemed to be getting out of control when positive cases were recorded in at least seven other districts, including the capital Kampala.
