Le Burundi demeure exposé à des urgences de santé publique récurrentes et parfois concomitantes, notamment le choléra, la Mpox, la rougeole, le paludisme et les risques liés aux fièvres hémorragiques virales, dont les maladies à virus Ebola et Marburg. La mobilité transfrontalière, les mouvements de populations, les vulnérabilités dans les zones frontalières et les sites d’accueil, les inégalités d’accès aux services et la circulation de rumeurs peuvent accroître les risques de transmission et retarder le recours aux soins.
