Cholera has broken dash in our village

Cholera has broken out in northern Niger, in an area now inhabited by large numbers of Malian refugees who fled conflict in their homeland. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has treated all of the nearly 250 people affected by the cholera outbreak in northern Niger that was declared by the country’s health authorities on May 11. MSF has also opened two cholera treatment centers in the regions of Mangaïzé and Ayorou, north of the capital, Niamey. Six people have died in the outbreak thus far, however. “As soon as the first cases appeared, MSF rushed to open a cholera treatment center,” says Dr. Benoit Kayembé, MSF’s head of mission in Niger. “We currently have 100 beds in Ayorou and another 50 in Mangaïzé. As well as treating people with the disease, which mainly involves rehydrating them, our teams are leading health awareness campaigns in the affected villages. The teams are also treating water points in these communities and actively looking for further cases of cholera.” Fear That Disease May Spread Southwards “Some of the patients come from the camps of Malian refugees, but the majority are from local communities,” adds Kayembé. MSF is currently the only medical organization treating people infected by cholera in the region.

By Bernard Masereka CHOLERA has broken out in Kasese district with two cases reported in Hamukungu fishing village in Lake Katwe sub-county on Tuesday. The district health officer, Dr. Peter Mukobi, sounded the alarm while addressing residents of Hamukungu during a sanitation campaign organised by the district and the Uganda Red Cross Society. Mukobi said 584 cases with 10 deaths have been registered in the district since the beginning of the year. He added that most of the cases were from the sub-counties neighbouring the Democratic Republic of Congo. During the campaign, the secretary for health and social services, Rehema Muhindo, called for by-laws that would better hygiene and sanitation. She warned people living at the shores to stop drinking lake water without boiling it. Red Cross donated soap, drugs and Water guard tablets used in purifying water to the residents of Hamukungu. Following the lack of supplies to treat the disease, a doctor at Kagando Hospital said the hospital was charging fees on cholera patients. Dr. Herbert Bumbi said each cholera patient had to pay sh100,000 upon discharge. Previously, the Government used to provide the supplies to treat cholera patients and pay the allowances for medics attending to them. Some leaders were against the fee, saying it was too high and that it would cause more deaths as people would fear to go to hospital.

On 6 January 2019, Rubaga Division notified the Uganda Ministry of Health of a suspected cholera outbreak in Sembule village. We investigated to identify the source and mode of transmission, and recommended evidence-based interventions. Methods We defined a suspected case as onset of profuse, painless, acute watery diarrhoea in a Kampala City resident (≥ 2 years) from 28 December 2018 to 11 February 2019. A confirmed case was a suspected case with Vibrio cholerae identified from the patient’s stool specimen by culture. We found cases by record review and active community case-finding. We conducted a case–control study in Sembule village, the epi-center of this outbreak, to compare exposures between confirmed case-persons and asymptomatic controls, individually matched by age group. We overlaid rainfall data with the epidemic curve to identify temporal patterns between rain and illnesses. We conducted an environmental assessment, interviewed village local council members, and tested water samples fr...
