The EBOLA Act requires the United States to rejoin the World Health Organization within 30 days of the bill's enactment and immediately collaborate with the organization to respond to an Ebola outbreak in Central and Eastern Africa. The bill was introduced in response to a 2026 Ebola outbreak that had spread across international borders with over 1,000 cases, potentially threatening to exceed the scale of the 2014-2016 West African outbreak that killed more than 11,000 people. The legislation reverses a presidential withdrawal from the World Health Organization that was completed in January 2026 and aims to restore U.S. participation in international disease surveillance and outbreak coordination. The bill authorizes funding for U.S. assessed contributions to restore WHO membership as well as support for the organization's response efforts to the Ebola epidemic. The measure affects all Americans by attempting to reinstate U.S. engagement in global health infrastructure to protect domestic public health and national security.
