Rwanda identifies cases of Marburg disease

September 27, 2024-Rwanda’s Ministry of Health(MINISANTE) has confirmed cases of Marburg virus disease (MVD), a haemorrhagic fever, in some patients in health facilities in the country.

Investigations are being carried out to determine the origin of the infection. Enhanced preventive measures are being implemented in all health facilities. Contact tracing is underway, and cases have been isolated for treatment.

Such infections are transmitted through contact with blood and body fluids of people who are visibly sick. The virus is not believed to be transmitted by air.

Anyone experiencing symptoms such as a high fever, strong headaches, vomiting, muscle aches, and stomach aches should call Rwanda Biomedical Centre (RBC) on 114, or visit the nearest health facility.

The Ministry of Health is closely monitoring the situation and will provide further updates on a regular basis. The public should continue with their usual activities while maintaining a high level of vigilance and hygiene.
