World Health Organization(WHO) has called for urgent meeting, after deadly Marburg virus kills persons in Equatorial Guinea.

To address the recent outbreak, the apex health agency, in a statement, said it is “working with authorities to prepare to rapidly detect any suspected cases of Marburg, a rare Ebola-like virus that has a fatality rate of up to 88 per cent.”

“To date, nine deaths have been reported, with no currently confirmed cases in neighbouring Cameroon and Gabon,” it revealed.

Director General of WHO, Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus said “the outbreak remains a public emergency on a global scale.”

In a parley on Wednesday, he noted that “given the millions, who died and were affected by COVID-19, finding the origin of the pandemic is crucial, for scientific and moral reasons, to prevent the next disease outbreak.”

According to him, current disease outbreaks highlight the urgent need for every country to ramp up its care systems.

The call comes against a backdrop of Marburg and mpox outbreaks, the more than 10,000 COVID-19 deaths still being reported weekly, and the ongoing emergency response to the deadly earthquake in Syria and Türkiye, WHO Chief added.

“Morally, it is important to know how we lost our loved ones. We need to push until we get the answer to the origins and how this pandemic started.”

Vaccines are being developed, and Equatorial Guinea will be involved in any related decisions on clinic trials, he added.

Dr. Abdi Mahamud of WHO said “lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic have already unfolded in a current drive to boost surveillance efforts in nearby countries.”

The statement reads:
“While WHO acknowledged ongoing efforts and the continued decline in mpox cases, he said more than 30 countries are currently reporting cases.

“In addition, concerns persist about underreporting, particularly in nations where prior cases have been reported, he said, calling on all countries to maintain surveillance efforts.

“A rare viral disease primarily occurring in tropical rainforest areas of Central and West Africa, mpox outbreaks have emerged in other parts of the world, affecting 110 countries affected, with reports of more than 80,000 cases and 55 deaths.

“Reports of COVID-19 pandemic-related hospitalizations and deaths have declined, but there are still 10,000 deaths reported weekly worldwide, WHO’s chief said.

“This is 10,000 deaths too many for a disease that can be prevented,” he said.

“Subvariants of the Omicron strain also remain a cause for concern, based on their increased transmissibility and ability to kill.

“The origins of COVID-19, Ebola, Marburg and other diseases are unknown, but investigations are ongoing.”
