The DRC and Uganda are expected at this meeting, whose work focuses on the response to the epidemic raging in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which began five months ago.
## Connection between international commitments and national priorities
According to the Africa CDC document, the presence of the Congolese and Ugandan authorities should make it possible to better link international commitments to national priorities, as well as to the needs of affected communities and frontline actors.
The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention welcomes the leadership of the United States in convening this meeting.
## A challenge reclassified as global security
The diplomatic and health event is presented as being of particular importance in the response, while the crisis linked to the Ebola virus disease in the DRC is now described as a global security issue.
The discussions are taking place on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, a framework in which the Congolese health situation is at the center of discussions.
