Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what support they are providing with international partners to Ethiopia, following the Ministry for Health in Ethiopia confirming an outbreak of Marburg virus and three deaths.

We are monitoring the Marburg virus outbreak in southern Ethiopia very closely. Close engagement is underway with the Ethiopian Ministry of Health, the Ethiopian Public Health Institute, and international partners to assess the situation and identify where partnership with Ethiopian authorities would be most effective.
