While the world is responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, Doctors Without Borders\/M\u00e9decins Sans Fronti\u00e8res (MSF) is warning that efforts to contain the spread of the new coronavirus should not interfere with the prevention of measles and other killer diseases. In Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), more than 6,600 children have already died from a measles outbreak that began in 2019 and is now the world\u2019s largest. As of January 2020, there were more than 50,000 cases in the country. MSF is running a mass vaccination campaign in Mongala province, in the north. \u201cWe hope that with this vaccination that we have launched, we will cut the chain of transmission,\u201d says Dr. Philippe Mpabenda, MSF\u2019s intervention manager, \u201cso that measles cases stop and can no longer plunge communities into mourning.\u201d MSF has seen firsthand that other health crises do not stop during emergencies like COVID-19. Governments and donors must not reduce support for vaccinations, malnutrition prevention and treatment, and other urgent medical needs. We cannot allow the response to the COVID-19 pandemic to fuel other health crises. <\/p>\n
