The Acting Regional Emergency Director of the WHO Africa Regional Office, Patrick Abok, stated during an online press conference held in Angola that the region is facing some of the most challenging health emergencies in recent years.
CHOLERA HAS CLAIMED THOUSANDS OF LIVES IN AFRICA
Abok pointed out that the new Ebola outbreak in the Kasai province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is straining the already fragile health system, along with cholera, mpox, measles, and other diseases.
Patrick Abok said, "This year alone, more than 190,000 people have contracted cholera in 23 countries, and over 4,200 people have lost their lives, with outbreaks actively ongoing in 16 of these countries. Due to insufficient access to safe water and sanitation facilities, cholera continues to pose a serious public health risk in areas experiencing humanitarian crises."
CASES ARE SPREADING RAPIDLY
Abok noted that the WHO supports cholera treatment centers, provides supplies, and conducts vaccination campaigns to prevent the spread of the disease, recording that more than 15 million doses of cholera vaccine have been administered this year.
He also indicated that cholera cases are spreading rapidly in countries like Chad, Sudan, Ethiopia, and the DRC due to poor sanitation conditions and climate-related flooding disasters. Cholera is known as a bacterial infection transmitted through the consumption of contaminated water or food.
