Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Health authorities in Zambe\u0301zia province, in central Mozambique, on Monday declared outbreaks of cholera in three districts, with a cumulative total of 499 people hospitalised due to the disease.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe province has cholera outbreaks in the districts of Gurue\u0301, Gile\u0301 and Mocuba and until yesterday, 5 November, we had a total of 499 patients who needed hospitalisation. Fortunately, there have been no deaths at the health centres,\u201d said O\u0301scar Hawad, Zambezia\u2019s provincial health director, during a press conference.<\/p>\n

According to Hawad, of the total number of people hospitalised, 300 are in health units in Gurue\u0301, the district with the highest number of cases.<\/p>\n

O\u0301scar Hawad said that teams of technicians had been deployed to support the district of Gurue\u0301 in the management and monitoring of cases, with the aim of \u201cstopping or limiting the transmission\u201d of cholera as quickly as possible, and that treatment centres for the disease had also been set up in the province.<\/p>\n

The district of Gurue\u0301 was the worst affected by the torrential rain that hit the province last week, causing five deaths and house collapses, not to mention indirectly causing cases of acute diarrhoea, the secretary of state said at the time.<\/p>\n

The Zambezian authorities are asking communities to step up prevention measures to stop the cholera outbreak.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s boil and purify the water, wash our food frequently before cooking and above all always wash our hands,\u201d appealed Cristina Mafumo, Secretary of State for Zambe\u0301zia.<\/p>\n

Mozambique is considered one of the countries most severely affected by climate change in the world, a situation that aggravates the lack of infrastructure and services to prevent the disease.<\/p>\n

Cholera is a disease that causes severe diarrhoea, which is treatable but can lead to death from dehydration if it is not tackled promptly.<\/p>\n

The disease is largely caused by ingesting contaminated food and water due to poor sanitation.<\/p>\n

In May, the World Health Organisation (WHO) warned that the world will have a shortage of cholera vaccines by 2025 and that one billion people in 43 countries could be infected with the disease, pointing, in October, to Mozambique as one of the countries most at risk.<\/p>\n
