Bangladesh: Dengue Outbreak, 2026
Dengue remains a major public health concern in Bangladesh, with recurrent seasonal outbreaks that threaten life and stretch the health system's capacity. The 2026 outbreak has followed an unusual trajectory: national figures ran below the 2025 pace through mid-August, before a sharp monsoon-driven surge from late August pushed the cumulative case count past last year's comparable tally within weeks. According to the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), from the beginning of the year to 13 September 2026, more than 51,000 dengue cases and 149 deaths have been recorded nationwide. The dengue situation has continued to deteriorate in recent days. Between 8 and 14 September 2026, more than 8,000 new dengue cases were reported, with 16 deaths recorded during this six-day period. In September 2026, more than 15,000 new dengue cases and 52 deaths have been reported up to 14 September. During the first 14 days of September, the country recorded an average of more than 1,200 hospital admissions per day, indicating a continued sharp increase in dengue transmission and the pressure on health facilities. August recorded 20,536 hospital admissions and 43 deaths — more than double the 9,206 admissions recorded in July 2026. In August 2026, Bangladesh recorded its third-highest monthly dengue morbidity and mortality since the country's major outbreak in 2000. Cases in August have more than tripled compared to 2024 (6,521 → 20,536) and nearly doubled year-on-year from 2025 to 2026. Moreover, according to some popular news portals, hospitals are currently managing a dual caseload of measles and dengue admissions, placing additional pressure on an already stretched health system. Health authorities report that measles patients require strict isolation owing to the disease's high transmissibility and cannot be co-located with dengue admissions. This is constraining ward capacity and complicating patient triage and management across affected facilities. A further rise in dengue cases is expected to compound this pressure. Health experts anticipate a sharp increase in dengue infections over the coming two months, driven by continued wet weather conditions and gaps in vector control coverage. The current surge has affected all eight divisions, with Dhaka Division the hardest hit. From 1 January to 8 September 2026, Dhaka Division (including its two city corporations) reported 18,209 cases approximately 40% of the national total. Khulna (7,298), Barishal (6,808) and Chattogram (6,721) reported the next-highest numbers, followed by Rajshahi (2,557) and Mymensingh (2,499). Sylhet and Rangpur reported the lowest numbers. Men accounted for 62.2% of reported cases against 37.8% for women, consistent with the male-dominant infection pattern of recent years, generally attributed to greater outdoor and inter-location mobility. The mortality pattern, however, runs in the opposite direction, women accounted for 55.4% of deaths against 44.6% for men.

COD: Epidemic - 09-2026 - The Democratic Republic of Congo is facing the cholera epidemic on the rise nationwide.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo is facing an upward trend in the cholera epidemic at the national level. In week 37, the country recorded about 2,200 suspected cases and 14 deaths across different health zones. The cumulative toll for 2026 now exceeds 41,300 suspected cases and 1,214 deaths reported on the national territory. A total of 16 of the 26 provinces of the DRC have reported outbreaks or active cases since the beginning of the year. In week 38, the National Institute of Public Health (INSP) identified 5 priority provinces that had directly reported cases. North Kivu is the major epicentre of the epidemic in the east, aggravated by insecurity and massive population displacement. The province of Lualaba is recording active transmission within the geographical block of Greater Katanga. Tanganyika province remains an endemic health hotspot located along the Great Lakes basin. Kasai-Oriental has an active re-emergence of cases requiring special monitoring in Greater Kasai. Mongala province confirms the spread of the disease along the Congo River corridor. Eleven other provinces (South Kivu, Haut-Katanga, Ituri, Maniema, Tshopo, Kasai, Sud-Ubangi, Maï-Ndombe, Kwango, Kinshasa, Kongo Central) remain under surveillance. The ten remaining provinces of the country did not report any major outbreaks during this period. The east of the country accounts for the absolute majority of cumulative cases due to the fragility of water access infrastructure. River traffic along the Congo River acts as a key vector for the spread of cholera to the western provinces
