WHO appeal: Marburg virus disease outbreak Rwanda 2024

Overview

WHO is seeking US$ 7.7 million from October to December 2024 to support the Government of Rwanda in controlling the Marburg Virus Disease (MVD) outbreak. This funding will enable WHO to carry out critical activities outlined in its strategic response plan, focusing on surveillance, infection prevention, community engagement, and cross-border collaboration.

The funds will be allocated across WHO headquarters, regional, and country offices to coordinate the response, provide technical support, manage operations, and supply essential medical resources.

WHO urges donors to fully fund this appeal to stop the outbreak and protect vulnerable populations.
