The Republic of the Congo is confronting a dual public-health challenge, with an ongoing cholera outbreak alongside heightened preparedness for the potential spread of Ebola.

UNICEF is supporting preparedness and response measures designed to protect children and families, strengthen infection prevention and control, and ensure communities receive accurate information about disease risks.
The situation highlights the continuing importance of rapid disease surveillance and strong health systems as countries in Central Africa respond to multiple infectious-disease threats.
