That\u2019s why as a project we are providing these resources to support coordination of the cholera response activities especially in the five districts of Chitipa, Karonga, Nkhotakota, Kasungu and Salima where we are implementing the USAID Momentum Tikweze Umoyo project whose aim is to reduce maternal, newborn, and child morbidity and mortality.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo today we are handing over these various medical supplies to help these five districts manage the cholera outbreak. Some of the materials we are donating today include chlorine, cannulas, personal protection equipment (PPEs), and Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) among others and these have already been dispatched to the other districts,\u201d explained Mangochi.<\/p>\n<p>According to Mangochi, apart from the medical supplies they are also supporting the districts with surveillance and reporting of cholera cases at the community level as well as distribution of public health guidance so that communities have the right information and know how they can prevent the further spread of the disease.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd another important area of support that we intend to do is to support the Government of Malawi in addressing the human resource for health (HRH) gap currently experienced in the severely impacted districts. On this one, we have already started working with the district councils in these five districts to recruit temporary staff to support case management at treatment camps as well as supporting other interventions to ease the cholera burden in the districts,\u201d said Mangochi.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the donation, Salima District Environmental Health Officer Reuben Chikadza said the support from the Momentum Tikweze Umoyo project will go a long way in containing and managing the disease in the district.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a district we are struggling to mobilize resources to implement planned activities for Cholera response and we are grateful to USAID through the Momentum Tikweze Umoyo project for this timely support. This support will help us in scaling up surveillance and reporting of cases especially with the additional staff that the project is planning to bring to us,\u201d said Chikadza.<\/p>\n<p>The donated Cholera supplies comprise medical supplies such as chlorine, face masks, cannulas, disposable aprons, Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS), hand sanitizers, alcohol swabs, hand washing soap, gloves, and giving sets. These donated items will further strengthen the Governments efforts to contain the Cholera outbreak in the country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/malawi\">Malawi<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
