"Bangladesh is facing a severe measles outbreak with over 78,000 suspected and confirmed cases. Global measles deaths in 2024 are estimated at 95,000, primarily among unvaccinated children under five. Public health experts warn that rare diseases like Ebola or Andes virus receive disproportionate media attention compared to routine but deadly diseases like measles. Disruptions in routine vaccination due to political instability and the post-COVID-19 environment have contributed to the resurgence."
