Two successive deaths have alarmed residents of Janjina village in Ambatofinandrahana district. The victims are a 20-year-old girl and a 3-year-old child, who died yesterday according to the Gendarmerie, which noted both deaths occurred on the same day. "Health professionals are favoring measles as the probable cause of death," the source stated. Health workers visited the area to assess the situation and conduct response activities. They screened people presenting with fever and identified sixteen cases. Five tested positive for malaria according to rapid diagnostic tests (RDT). Three suspected measles cases were also recorded. "Samples will be collected today and sent to the Pasteur Institute. This analysis will confirm whether it is measles or not," our source explained. While awaiting results, vitamin A was distributed to children aged 1 to 5 years to strengthen their immune systems. Measles continues to circulate in Madagascar, according to the Public Health Ministry, which has not yet confirmed these suspected measles deaths in Ambatofinandrahana. Unvaccinated individuals face the highest risk from this disease and potential serious complications that can be fatal. Vaccine hesitancy and geographic inaccessibility of health centers largely explain why some children remain unvaccinated. Janjina is a remote village far from any health facility, located 36 km from the Mandrosonoro level 2 basic health center and 32 km from Maroanakomby's center.
