Tanzania today declared the end of Marburg virus disease outbreak after recording no new cases over 42 days since the death of the last confirmed case on 28 January 2025.
The outbreak, in which two confirmed and eight probable cases were recorded (all deceased), was the second the country has experienced. Both this outbreak, which was declared on 20 January 2025, and the one in 2023 occurred in the north-eastern Kagera region.
In response to the latest outbreak, Tanzania’s health authorities set up coordination and response systems, with support from World Health Organization (WHO) and partners, at the national and regional levels and reinforced control measures to swiftly detect cases, enhance clinical care, infection prevention as well as strengthen collaboration with communities to raise awareness and help curb further spread of the virus.
Growing expertise in public health emergency response in the African region has been crucial in mounting effective outbreak control measures. Drawing on experience from the response to the 2023 Marburg virus disease outbreak, WHO worked closely with Tanzanian health authorities to rapidly scale up key measures such as disease surveillance and trained more than 1000 frontline health workers in contact tracing, clinical care and public health risk communication. The Organization also delivered over five tonnes of essential medical supplies and equipment.
“The dedication of frontline health workers and the efforts of the national authorities and our partners have paid off,” said Dr Charles Sagoe-Moses, WHO Representative in Tanzania. “While the outbreak has been declared over, we remain vigilant to respond swiftly if any cases are detected and are supporting ongoing efforts to provide psychosocial care to families affected by the outbreak.”
Building on the momentum during the acute phase of the outbreak response, measures have been put in place to reinforce the capacity of local health facilities to respond to potential future outbreaks. WHO and partners are procuring additional laboratory supplies and other equipment for disease detection and surveillance and other critical services.
Marburg virus disease is highly virulent and causes haemorrhagic fever. It belongs to the same family as the virus that causes Ebola virus disease. Illness caused by Marburg virus begins abruptly. Patients present with high fever, severe headache and severe malaise. They may develop severe haemorrhagic symptoms within seven days.
In the African region, previous outbreaks and sporadic cases have been reported in Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ghana, Kenya, Equatorial Guinea, Rwanda, South Africa and Uganda.

Morogoro. Katibu Mkuu Ofisi ya Rais, Menejimenti ya Utumishi wa Umma na Utawala Bora, Juma Mkomi, amesema katika bajeti ijayo Serikali imepanga kuajiri watumishi wapya 1,000 wa Jeshi la Zimamoto na Uokoaji nchini.
Mkomi amesema hayo leo Jumatatu, Machi 10, 2025, wakati akifungua kikao cha Baraza Dogo la Wafanyakazi wa Jeshi la Zimamoto na Uokoaji kilichofanyika mkoani Morogoro.
Pia, amelitaka jeshi hilo kuziwajibisha ofisi zote ambazo hazitakuwa na vifaa vya kuzimia moto, kwani kufanya hivyo ni kwenda kinyume na sheria za zimamoto.
Amesema kwenye bajeti ya mwaka 2025/2026 Serikali imepanga kuajiri watumishi 1,000 kwenye Jeshi la Zimamoto na Uokoaji. Pia, amelitaka jeshi hilo kufuata utaratibu wakati wa kufanya mchujo wa kuwapata watumishi wapya na kusisitiza vipimo vifanyike kabla ya kuajiri watumishi wapya.
Mkomi, kwenye hotuba yake, pia amelitaka Jeshi la Zimamoto na Uokoaji nchini kufanya ukaguzi wa vifaa vya kuzimia moto kwenye ofisi za umma ili kuona kama vinafanya kazi ama vimewekwa kama mapambo.
“Ukaguzi huo uende sambamba na utoaji wa elimu ya kutosha kwa umma kuhusu namna ya kuzuia majanga ya moto na kukabiliana nayo. Kitengo cha mawasiliano kwa umma kiongezewe nguvu, kuna mambo mengi yanayohusu Jeshi la Zimamoto na Uokoaji ambayo wananchi wanapaswa kujua kupitia kitengo hiki,” amesema Mkomi.
Akitoa taarifa ya Jeshi la Zimamoto na Uokoaji, Kamishna Jenerali wa Zimamoto na Uokoaji, John Masunga, amesema katika mwaka wa fedha 2024/2025 jeshi hilo limetenga zaidi ya Sh6.5 bilioni kwa ajili ya utekelezaji wa miradi ya maendeleo, ikiwemo uendelezaji wa ujenzi wa vituo saba vya kuzimia moto na uokoaji katika mikoa ya Songwe, Simiyu, Kagera, Njombe, Manyara, Katavi, na Geita.
Aidha, katika bajeti hiyo wataweza kununua vifaa vya kuzimia moto na uokoaji, pamoja na uchunguzi na ukarabati wa kituo cha kuzimia moto na uokoaji katika Mkoa wa Morogoro na kuendeleza ujenzi wa majengo mawili ya ghorofa kwa ajili ya makazi ya askari Kikombo, jijini Dodoma.
Kamishna Masunga amesema jeshi lina jumla ya vituo 80 vya zimamoto na uokoaji katika mikoa ya Tanzania Bara, ambapo kati ya vituo hivyo, 56 vipo katika ngazi ya wilaya na 24 kwenye viwanja vya ndege.
“Jeshi lina uhitaji wa vituo vipya 237 katika wilaya na maeneo mengine ili kusogeza huduma karibu zaidi na wananchi,” amesema Kamishna Masunga.
Amesema utaratibu wa upatikanaji wa mkopo wenye thamani ya Dola za Marekani milioni 100 tayari umesainiwa Februari 15, 2024, kati ya Serikali na Taasisi ya Abu Dhabi Export Office (ADEX) kutoka Umoja wa Falme za Kiarabu (UAE). Mkopo huo ni kwa ajili ya ununuzi wa vitendeakazi mbalimbali, vikiwemo magari 150 ya kuzima moto na uokoaji, magari 40 ya kubebea wagonjwa, boti 23 za kuzimia moto, na helikopta moja ya kuzimia moto.
Kamishna Masunga ametaja changamoto zinazolikabili Jeshi la Zimamoto na Uokoaji kuwa ni pamoja na uhaba wa vifaa na vitendeakazi kwa ajili ya utoaji huduma, uchache wa vituo vya kujazia maji ya kuzimia moto, na ujenzi holela katika maeneo mengi hasa mijini, hali inayosababisha askari kushindwa kufika kwa urahisi wakati wa dharura za moto na majanga mengine.Continue Reading
