Will the WHO declare the Ebola outbreak in Central Africa a global health emergency before December 31, 2026?

The WHO has declared Ebola outbreaks as Public Health Emergencies of International Concern (PHEIC) multiple times, including in 2014-2016 and 2018-2020 for major outbreaks in West and Central Africa. While Ebola outbreaks occur periodically in Central Africa, most are contained relatively quickly without reaching PHEIC threshold. The probability accounts for ongoing outbreak risks in DRC and neighboring countries, but also reflects that most outbreaks don't escalate to emergency declarations.
