Health authorities in Cameroon’s Far North Region are maintaining measures to contain cholera as the disease continues to require close monitoring.
Cameroon Tribune reported that response activities between September 25 and 29 targeted Maroua I, Maroua II, Maroua III and Gazawa health districts. Authorities are urging communities to use safe drinking water, wash hands regularly, properly cook food and use sanitary facilities.
The WHO and humanitarian partners are also supporting cholera preparedness and response across the Lake Chad Basin, including Cameroon.
