Measles and rubella outbreak simulation exercise and outbreak investigation capacity-building workshop

24 August 2023 – To address gaps in existing national systems for timely detection and response to a measles/rubella outbreak in priority countries, the WHO Regional Office is conducting a measles/rubella outbreak simulation exercise and outbreak investigation capacity-building workshop in Cairo on 20–24 August 2023. 

The priority countries (Afghanistan, Djibouti, Iraq, Islamic Republic of Iran, Lebanon, Libya, Pakistan, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen) have all reported active outbreaks in the past 2 years. Most of these countries are characterized as fragile, conflict-affected, experiencing natural and manmade disasters, housing large populations of internally displaced persons or refugees and having weak health systems.
