Evaluation of response to a cholera outbreak in January 2024 using the 7–1–7 timeliness metrics: a case study of Elegu Point of Entry, Uganda

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Response to an imported cholera outbreak at Elegu border point demonstrated Uganda's preparedness in managing cross-border disease outbreaks. Achieving the 7-1-7 targets highlighted the country's-built capacity to detect, notify, and respond to such events. Continued investment in local-level disease detection, communication, and national-level resource mobilization will be crucial to sustaining future effective cross-border outbreak prevention and control strategies.
