Measles - Indonesia
Some 59 children have died from a combination of measles and malnutrition in the remote Asmat region, Papua province, Indonesia. The Associated Press reports that Indonesian health authorities are struggling to battle the measles outbreak due to a lack of access to remote areas, insufficient personnel and the high mobility of villagers hampered treatment and vaccination efforts. The measles outbreak, which began in Sep 2017, has affected 568 people and hospitalized 175.
