Starlink is acting as a lifeline for Ebola response teams in eastern DRC.
• Starlink delivered 150 satellite connectivity kits to support Africa CDC’s Ebola response in Ituri Province
• The kits are being deployed in remote and hard-to-reach areas where reliable internet is critical
• They support real-time surveillance data, contact tracing, lab result reporting, case updates and field coordination
• Each kit includes a Starlink antenna, Wi-Fi router and power cables, and can be operational within minutes
• WHO/OMS updates also showed 10 Starlink kits being installed in affected areas to strengthen satellite connectivity
• The response is focused on helping frontline health workers detect cases faster, coordinate better and protect communities from further spread
This is where Starlink becomes more than internet, it becomes life-saving infrastructure.
