    MoH Confirms Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever Case in Kyankwanzi
    By Catherine Namugerwa | Thursday, February 12, 2026


    The Ministry of Health has confirmed a case of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) in Kyankwanzi District, raising fresh concerns over the spread of the highly fatal viral disease.

    In a statement issued on Wednesday, the ministry said laboratory tests conducted on samples from a 21-year-old male nurse from Kagalama Village in Butemba Town Council returned positive results for the virus.​



    According to health officials, the patient initially sought treatment at a local drug shop before his condition worsened. He was later isolated and placed under supportive treatment, and a formal case investigation was launched.

    The nurse, who also keeps livestock and operates a private drug shop, was admitted to St. Peter’s Hospital in neighbouring Kiboga District on February 2.​..
