MSF DRC: Children at risk as measles spreads amid insecurity and access challenges

In 2025, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) was again faced with a major measles epidemic, with more than 82,869 suspected cases and 1,175 deaths recorded in almost all provinces, according to local health authorities. This outbreak comes at a time when the health situation is extremely fragile, marked by the coexistence of several health crises, including mpox, cholera, persistent insecurity in the east of the country, and a decline in humanitarian and health funding. In response, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has deployed teams to support the health authorities’ efforts to curb the disease. This response is taking place in a context of transition, as the combined measles–rubella (MR) vaccine has recently been introduced into the national routine immunization programme, marking an important step in strengthening prevention efforts.
