MSF team supports response to outbreak of Marburg virus in Tanzania


Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is actively supporting the response to an outbreak of Marburg virus in Tanzania’s Kagera region, which is being led by the Ministry of Health. The outbreak was declared by Tanzanian authorities on 20 January 2025.

Working alongside the Ministry of Health and other partners, including the World Health Organization (WHO), an MSF team with experience responding to epidemics is in Kagera region to strengthen the local response capacity. We are providing trainings and essential protective and medical equipment to frontline healthcare staff.
