Malawi health officials set up plans to keep the Marburg virus away from their country after Tanzania reported cases. The health department deputy director, Kondwani Mamba, told reporters yesterday they can handle any outbreak. He pointed out how the ministry works with staff at every level across the country. This helps them watch communities closely and catch health threats early.

The country already knows how to deal with outbreaks like COVID-19, according to Mamba. He talked about their strong system for checking diseases, even in small villages. Their labs can test samples from different medical centers to find the virus quickly. The government trained healthcare workers near borders about what signs to look for when checking people coming into Malawi.

Mamba asked news outlets to help teach people about the Marburg virus and other health dangers. He wants everyone to learn the symptoms and visit hospitals right away if they feel sick. The Marburg virus spreads easily from person to person and often kills those infected. Humans can catch it from fruit bats and monkeys, and it works similarly to Ebola.

Health teams remain ready throughout Malawi to spot any cases that might appear. Their experience fighting previous outbreaks gives them confidence they can protect citizens. The surveillance network reaches from big cities to remote areas, creating a safety net against dangerous diseases. Medical staff practice strict safety steps when handling possible cases.
