How did the lack of USAID support impact the Ebola response in Uganda?

According to Dr. Craig Spencer, USAID support was critically needed to establish border screening at Kampala's major international airport in Entebbe, which has connections worldwide. This essential public health measure would have helped monitor and potentially contain the spread of Ebola through a key transportation hub in Uganda. However, Dr. Spencer explicitly states that 'the USAID support did not materialize,' meaning these crucial screening protocols were not implemented. This absence of support left a significant gap in Uganda's infectious disease control efforts, potentially allowing for greater disease transmission through one of Africa's busiest international airports.
