Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Mozambican health authorities are registering more than 50 new cases of cholera every day in the north of the country, in an outbreak that in less than four months has claimed 25 lives and infected 12,250 people, according to the latest official figures.<\/p>\n

According to the most recent bulletin on the progression of the disease, drawn up by the National Directorate of Public Health and with data up to Tuesday, there have been 10,250 cases of cholera in the country since October 1st.<\/p>\n

On January 23rd there were 60 new cases, the day before 49, and on the 21st a total of 69, but there have been no deaths from the disease for almost a month.<\/p>\n

The fatality rate caused by this outbreak has dropped in the last week from 0.3% to 0.2%, and the Mozambican government said on Tuesday that 29 districts are experiencing low-intensity outbreaks of the disease and seven with cholera completely eradicated.<\/p>\n

The province most affected by the current wave of this cholera outbreak is Nampula (north), with a total of 3,299 cases and 12 deaths, followed by Tete (northwest), with 1,905 cases and six deaths.<\/p>\n

The Mozambican health authorities recently vaccinated more than 2.2 million people against cholera in five days in the districts most affected by the current outbreak, corresponding to practically full coverage compared to the schedule.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Lusa earlier, the head of the ministry of health\u2019s Expanded Vaccination Program, Leonildo Nhampossa, said that a total of 2,268,548 people over the age of one had been vaccinated against cholera in four provinces between January 8 and 12.<\/p>\n

This \u201ccorresponds to 100% coverage. The objectives were completely achieved,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The target group for this vaccination operation was 2,271,136 people, corresponding to the population living in the most vulnerable and hotspot areas for the current outbreak, the ministry of health previously said.<\/p>\n

According to information from the National Directorate of Public Health, the campaign was aimed at the population aged one year and over and was carried out in the districts of Chiu\u0301re and Montepuez (Cabo Delgado province), Gile\u0301, Gurue\u0301 and Mocuba (Zambe\u0301zia), Ma\u0301goe, Moatize and Zumbo (Tete) and Maringue (Sofala).<\/p>\n

This vaccination campaign mobilized 1,136 teams, with 7,337 staff, including vaccinators, mobilizers, registrars, supervisors, leaders, data entry staff, logisticians and drivers, among others, and cost around US$1.3 million (\u20ac1.19 million), including funds from the state and Mozambique\u2019s cooperation partners.<\/p>\n
