Measles and Rubella Initiative

The Measles & Rubella Initiative is a global effort to eliminate these contagious diseases through vaccination, public education, and strong health systems. It aims to protect children and communities from outbreaks that can cause serious health problems, such as pneumonia, brain damage, and death. By increasing immunization coverage and addressing barriers to healthcare, the initiative works to reduce illness and save lives, especially in vulnerable regions. It’s a collaborative effort involving governments, organizations, and health workers striving for a world where measles and rubella are no longer common.
