Background:Between 8 May 2018 and 27 May 2019, cumulatively there were 1286 deaths from Ebola Virus Disease(EVD) in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The objective of this study was to estimate the monetary value ofhuman lives lost through EVD in DRC.Methods:Human capital approach was applied to monetarily value years of life lost due to premature deaths from EVD.The future losses were discounted to their present values at 3% discount rate. The model was reanalysed using 5 and10% discount rates. The analysis was done alternately using the average life expectancies for DRC, the world, and theJapanese females to assess the effect on the monetary value of years of life lost (MVYLL).Results:The 1286 deaths resulted in a total MVYLL of Int$17,761,539 assuming 3% discount rate and DRC life expectancyof 60.5 years. The average monetary value per EVD death wasof Int$13,801. About 44.7 and 48.6% of the total MVYLL wasborne by children aged below 9 years and adults aged between 15 years and 59 years, respectively.Re-estimation of the algorithm with average life expectancies of the world (both sexes) and Japanese females,holdingdiscountrateconstantat3%,increasedtheMVYLLbyInt$ 3,667,085 (20.6%) and Int$ 7,508,498 (42.3%), respectively.The application of discount rates of 5 and 10%, holding life expectancy constant at 60.5 years, reduced the MVYLL by Int$ 4,252,785 (−23.9%) and Int$ 9,658,195 (−54.4%) respectively.Conclusion:The EVD outbreak in DRC led to a considerable MVYLL. There is an urgent need for DRC governmentand development partners to disburse adequate resources to strengthen the national health system and other systemsthat address social determinants of health to end recurrence of EVD outbreaks.
