In 2024, Marburg virus disease was detected in Rwanda. A large-scale public health response was able to control the outbreak. Ultimately, 66 laboratory-confirmed cases were identified, largely in two urban hospitals. Full study from the Rwanda MVD Outbreak Response Team: nej.md/3VIaMNA

One year later, our @NEJM study (out today) reports how science-guided detection & rapid action stopped Rwanda’s first Marburg outbreak in weeks, achieving the lowest recorded fatality 👉 nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Just published "How Rwanda mounted a research response with an investigational vaccine just ten days into a Marburg outbreak" A powerful example of outbreak-ready research leadership. nature.com/articles/s4154… #RBC , #CEPI, #IQVIA

Today, RBC in partnership with @GOAL3_WAH and @expertisefrance presented the findings from the study “Emergency and Critical Care Assessment (ECCA) for paediatric patients in Rwanda” The findings from the study provides a comprehensive assessment of the current state of neonatal and pediatric ECC and the urgent need to address the identified gaps in staffing, training, equipment, and health information systems to ensure better availability of essential ECC procedures in #public hospitals across #Rwanda . Emergency and critical care services are essential for providing immediate and lifesaving interventions to patients experiencing severe medical emergencies. The effectiveness of these services is crucial for improving patient survival, recovery, and reducing long-term complications, especially in neonatal and pediatric care. #GlobalHealth #Pediatrics

Prof. Marcel Tanner's recognition is for his invaluable contributions to malaria research and, notably, for his efforts in strengthening capacities from local communities to higher echelons of leadership. At the #MIM2024 conference, we observed his dedication to training CHW.

In their remarks at the #WorldMalariaDay celebration, Dr @eRemera and Prof Evelyn Ansah, Co-Chairs of the #MIM2024 Scientific Committee, reiterated that it is an opportunity to celebrate progress, reflect on challenges and reaffirm the collective commitment to #EndMalaria.

Research and development (R&D) has played a crucial role in malaria control and elimination efforts by driving innovation, improving existing interventions, and discovering new strategies to combat the disease. #MIM2024 , #AfricaEndingMalaria
