Cholera outbreak in Borno overwhelms health facilities as suspected cases exceed 35,000
MSF also noted that the outbreak has spread beyond Borno to neighbouring Plateau State, where the state Ministry of Health had reported 102 suspected cholera cases as of 12 July.
Given the danger of the disease, MSF said it has expanded its emergency response in collaboration with health authorities and other humanitarian organisations by supporting two Cholera Treatment Centres, five Cholera Treatment Units and 17 oral rehydration points across Borno State.
According to the organisation, it has intensified community awareness campaigns, trained healthcare workers in cholera management, and supported water, sanitation, and hygiene interventions, including chlorinating water at key collection points.
