Stakeholders in the health sector are urging the general public to follow strict sanitary practices as the rainy season approaches amidst an ongoing cholera outbreak to avert an escalation of cases.
The continuous surge in cholera cases in the country has prompted the need for stakeholders to dialogue on sustained solutions.
Since the outbreak of cholera in the country, there have been 598 confirmed cases and 49 deaths recorded out of 6,775 suspected cases.
Although there has been a significant decline in cases across the country, stakeholders are concerned that the focus has been on the numbers instead of tackling the root cause, which is poor sanitation.
