Cholera Outbreak Hits Eastern Malawi
Malawi is experiencing an outbreak of cholera, two months after the start of the rainy season. Health authorities say the water-borne disease has hit most residents of three districts around Lake Chilwa in eastern Malawi.
The first cholera cases were reported in the eastern districts of Machinga and Zomba on December 19 when one person died and 26 others were receiving treatment at public hospitals.
Health Ministry authorities said on Wednesday that the water-borne disease is spreading considerably with the number of patients now at 95.
