THE FIGHT AGAINST THE TRIPLE EPIDEMIC IN MANDERA COUNTY (Dengue fever, Chikungunya and Cholera outbreak)

Cholera outbreaks can occur sporadically in any part of the world where water supplies, sanitation, food safety and hygiene practices are inadequate. Overcrowded communities with poor sanitation and unsafe drinking-water supplies are most frequently affected.

We focus on awareness creation to prevent the spread of cholera and malaria.

Essentially the public must insist on;
-Provision of adequate safe drinking-water
-Proper personal hygiene
-Proper food hygiene
Hygienic disposal of human excreta.
-Use treated mosquito nets and spray mosquito breeding areas to reduce malaria prevalence.

We hope for the best given the concerted efforts by concerned authorities or agencies.
