Description
Malaria has become a serious public health concern in Burundi. An outbreak that has the potential to evolve into
an epidemic has eradicated nearly as many individuals as the Ebola crisis within the adjacent Democratic Re-
public of the Congo. The government's delay to announce a national crisis, increased breeding sites as a result of
flooding, and the presence of multi-drug resistant malaria have exacerbated the burden. With a concurrent
COVID-19 pandemic, economic complications, and overlap of symptoms between both diseases, these challenges
are complex, but not unfamiliar. Organizations such as M Ěedecins Sans Fronti`eres have carried out spraying
campaigns, and the government is actively mitigating efforts to handle the pandemic. That being said, there is
still a need to enhance preventive measures such as increasing technological capacity and epidemiological
surveillance to better withstand challenges.
