The Africa Centres for Disease Control and prevention (Africa CDC) has given Burundi vaccine storage equipment as the nation battles Mpox, which has so far affected more than 230 people in the country.
The equipment, comprising 28 electric and solar refrigerators, 20 ice rooms, and 162 boxes used to carry vaccines, were handed to Burundi’s assistant minister of public health Dr Isidore Ntiharirizwa on Friday by Dr Merawi Aragaw, Africa CDC’s head of Emergency Preparedness and Response Division. The donation is valued at $314,617.
