CHOLERA OUTBREAK IN HAUT-KATANGA
DISEASE
Situation
At least 56 suspected cholera cases, including 6 deaths, were reported in the Kambove health zone, in the southern Haut-Katanga province, between 22 February and 10 March. There are no health care providers trained in cholera management in this health zone. Due to a water supply disruption in the area for several weeks, most households obtain water from unprotected wells and other water sources that are likely to be contaminated. Aid organizations are mobilizing to bring the infections under control, and to include the health zone into the country's vaccination campaign.
