Bangladesh hit by severe measles outbreak
Bangladesh is experiencing a widespread measles outbreak in 2026, with over 202,000 suspected cases and 1,147 deaths. Children under the age of five account for 94% of the fatalities. This situation is attributed to declining vaccination coverage and weak awareness efforts. The World Health Organization confirmed that the outbreak follows disruptions in the vaccination program in 2025 and emphasized that maintaining a vaccination rate of at least 95% is essential to curb the spread of the disease. The situation highlights the need to strengthen immunization programs and early surveillance, while facing challenges in providing healthcare services amidst the ongoing spread of dengue fever.
