Weekly Bulletin on Outbreaks and other Emergencies: Week 24: 05 June -11 June 2023 (Data as reported by: 17:00; 11 June 2023) – Democratic Republic of the Congo appeared on reliefweb.int by ReliefWeb.
This Weekly Bulletin focuses on public health emergencies occurring in the (WHO)African
region. This week’s articles cover:
- Marburg in Equatorial Guinea (End of outbreak declaration)
- Measles in South Africa
- Mpox in Africa
For each of these events, a brief description, followed by public health measures implemented
and an interpretation of the situation is provided.
A table is provided at the end of the bulletin with information on all new and ongoing public
health events currently being monitored in the region, as well as recent events that have been
controlled and closed.
Major issues and challenges include:
-
The first ever reported Marburg virus disease (MVD) outbreak reported in the Equatorial
Guinea was declared over on 8 June 2023 by the Ministry of Health. However, the risk of
re-emergence of MVD remains given that not all chains of transmission were linked, and
one confirmed case was not identified as well as the initial source of the outbreak. -
Cameroon reported two new laboratory-confirmed mpox cases in Africa in the past
two weeks. Adequate human resources and infrastructure for genomic sequencing and
bioinformatics are necessary to respond to the outbreak in Africa effectively.
