Combating the Cholera Outbreak through Community Response

By Elias kazumba

Lusaka, Zambia24 (25-01-2024) - Urgent attention is required to address the ongoing cholera outbreak in our country. While treatment centers have made progress, it is crucial to focus on community involvement.

Minister of Health, Sylvia Masebo said there an urgent need for the people of Zambians to strictly adhering to cholera prevention measures.

"These measures include ensuring access to clean water for drinking and hygiene purposes, maintaining proper hand-washing practices, and using chlorinated or boiled drinking water," he said.

Masebo also stressed the need to seek immediate medical attention if any symptoms of cholera arise.

"By working together, we can overcome this outbreak and protect the health and well-being of our communities," she said.

According to Masebo, in the past 24 hours, there have been 426 new cholera cases recorded nationwide, which is a slight decrease from the previous day's count, according to Masebo.

"These cases are reported across 7 provinces, with Lusaka Province being the most affected, having 327 cases. However, the number of patients admitted to treatment centers has decreased," she said.

Unfortunately, Masebo explained, there has been an increase in deaths due to cholera in the last 24 hours, where 12 adults and 4 children lost their lives to this disease.

"It is important to note that Hero's Stadium cholera treatment center has not reported any deaths during this time," she explained.

She said efforts to protect the population through vaccination have been successful, according to Masebo.

In the past week, 1,745,004 individuals in hotspot areas have received cholera vaccinations. Additionally, 3,356 healthcare workers from areas such as Chawama, Chipata, and Kanyama, which have the highest number of vaccinated individuals, have been vaccinated.

Masebo expressed gratitude to donor agencies, particularly GAVI and the UN systems, for their invaluable support as we near the completion of the current vaccination campaign.

She also thanked the individuals who received the vaccines, the dedicated community volunteers, and the healthcare workers for their commitment.

Sengelewayo Ndhlovu, CRS Emergency Officer, announced this significant gesture of support. The donated supplies are crucial for the treatment and prevention of cholera.

Included in the donation are 2000 bottles of Methylaten Spirit, an important disinfectant that will help maintain cleanliness and prevent infections at the treatment center. Additionally, there are 189 cannulas and 1000 Cannula Rogs, which are necessary for administering fluids and medication directly into patients' bloodstream. These supplies will aid in rehydrating and stabilizing individuals affected by cholera.

The donation also comprises surgical brass and 2000 syringes of various sizes, such as aMIS, SMIS, and TOMIS. Syringes play a vital role in accurately and safely administering medication to patients. Ndhlovu explained that this donation will ensure the treatment center has an ample supply of syringes to provide appropriate doses of medication.

Acknowledging the issue of dehydration caused by cholera, Ndhlovu added that the donation includes 800 caches of Dextrose 10%, an intravenous fluid that replenishes electrolytes lost due to severe diarrhea and vomiting. This fluid is essential for stabilizing patients and preventing complications.

This includes 400 clipboards to facilitate organized record-keeping of patient information. Furthermore, 200 blankets will provide comfort and warmth to patients during their recovery.

Other donated tools that are crucial in these situations include folding tables and chairs, baby thermometers, and oxygen circuits.

According to Ndhlovu, folding tables and chairs provide a stable surface for medical activities or dining, while baby thermometers are used to monitor the health of infants.

Ndhlovu also highlighted the importance of oxygen circuits, which deliver supplemental oxygen to patients who require respiratory support.

"The weight of 69 kg emphasizes the significance of these items. CRS places a high priority on ensuring their availability, as they play a vital role in providing efficient and effective assistance in emergency response settings. These lifesaving items not only provide comfort but also stability to those affected by crises," he explained.
