Tanzania has officially declared the end of its Marburg virus outbreak, marking a significant victory in the fight against this deadly disease. The announcement comes after 42 days without new confirmed cases, following the death of the last known case on January 28, 2025. The outbreak, which was identified in the northeastern Kagera region, resulted in a total of 10 deaths—two confirmed cases and eight probable ones—making this the second Marburg outbreak in the country.

The World Health Organization (WHO) and other partners collaborated in the response, providing support for case detection, clinical care, and infection prevention. Tanzanian health authorities also implemented national and regional coordination measures to control the virus’s spread. The experience gained during the 2023 outbreak allowed for a more efficient and rapid response.

Dr. Charles Sagoe-Moses, WHO Representative in Tanzania, highlighted the dedication of frontline healthcare workers and the collective efforts of national authorities. “Although the outbreak has officially ended, we remain vigilant and ready to respond quickly if new cases arise. We are also continuing to provide psychosocial support to the families affected,” he stated.

This declaration comes at a crucial time for Africa, where the ability to respond to health emergencies has significantly improved due to regional cooperation and advances in health infrastructure. WHO and its partners continue to support the strengthening of local health systems, better preparing the region for future outbreaks.

With a history of outbreaks in several African countries, Tanzania’s swift response serves as an example for other nations facing similar threats. The end of this outbreak highlights the importance of a rapid response and cooperation in safeguarding public health across the continent.
