The outbreak of Marburg hemorrhagic fever poses a significant threat to the public’s health and a call for emergency response in sub-Saharan Africa, especially in Equatorial Guinea. The World Health Organization (WHO) described the Marburg virus (MARV) as one of the most significant viruses. This virus has been categorized as a pathogen of group 4 risk. Case fatalities range from 24.0% to 88.0% in most sub-Saharan African countries, Equatorial Guinea inclusive. This shows its deadly nature and the necessity for wider information. Being the first time, Equatorial Guinea is experiencing the outbreak of MARV in its country, the government and the people are lacking the preventive measures against MARV in the country, posing a serious public health issue to the government and the people of Equatorial Guinea. Despite the WHO, on June 8, 2023, declaring that MARV in Equatorial Guinea has ended with no new cases reported till date, more outbreaks of the disease in Equatorial Guinea, including other neighboring countries and the world at large, can still occur. This necessitates the aim of this present article.

Introduction: Each individual learns differently. Honey and Mumford classified learning styles as activists, reflectors, theorists, and pragmatists. This study was conducted to find out the frequency of learning styles and preferred teaching methodology of students in a medical college in Nepal. Methods: Two hundred MBBS students participated in this study who were selected through a stratified sampling technique using students’ class year as a stratum, followed by a simple random sampling method. Honey and Mumford’s learning style questionnaire was used to determine learning styles. A self-developed questionnaire was used to find their preferred teaching methodology. Results: Of the total, 139 males and 61 females participated in the study where 9 (4.5%) students were activists, 21 (10.5%) were theorists, 112 (56%) were reflectors, and 24 (12%) were pragmatists. Out of all participants, 50 (25%) preferred interactive learning, 47 (23.5%) preferred problem-based learning, 59 (29.5%) preferred self-study, and only 2 (1%) students preferred one-way lectures and guest speakers each. Conclusion: The majority of students were reflectors (56%) and pragmatists (12%). Most students preferred self-study (29.5%) but one-way lectures were less preferred. Medical institutions should align teaching strategies with the learning styles of medical students to improve their understanding and performance.
