Tanzania has gained experience in controlling Marburg previously, as this is the second reported outbreak of the disease in Kagera. The first outbreak was in March 2023. I hope this experience will help Tanzania to bring the current outbreak under control quickly.

I pledged WHO’s continued support for the response, and I released US$3 million from the Contingency Fund for Emergencies. We thank our partners for their support.

I thanked the President for her leadership and commitment to health.
