Cholera is under control

Share

Government says the Cholera epidemic in the country has been contained.

Health deputy minister, Mwendoi Akakandwelwa, says the situation is under control with only a few cases in Lusaka.

Mr. Akakandelwa says all the cholera patients in Luapula, Southern and Northern provinces have been discharged from centers after receiving treatment.

He says some of the cholera treatment centres that had been set up in Luapula and Northern Provinces have now been closed.

The deputy minister told ZNBC news that Lusaka has 19 cholera cases with the majority being admitted to Kanyama health centre.

Mr. Akakandelwa said more than one hundred cholera patients have been treated in the past two months.

Nine people have died from cholera in Zambia, since it broke out in September this year.

Use this as a practice for the feel of the Exams,even though some questions do appear. Study hard and understand the basics and you’ll be fine, and dont rush yourself there’s plenty of time to spare on the test, finihed mine with one hour still to go.YOU CANT RETURN TO PREVIOUS QUESTIONS.

  6. Ba Moze safe trip, but remember what Dr Kaunda has always advised. Those Zimbabweans don’t only have the possibility of having AIDS, even cholera

    I will soon be… (rolling drums)….NAMBALA WANUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!:d:d:d

  8. By the way, when will Cholera be eradicated from Zed? Some diseases are just too deadly mwe, na malaria ya wamako. Nga ni chi HIV, we can’t even enjoy a ka one night stand, lyonse fye na bullet proof plastic bag! :((

  9. Chale the next topic its mine.I’m even playing Zedian Music on ytube while waiting for the next topic.Pertesen munyaule nafuti remix

  10. #27 Matworld, OK because it’s you, I will be nambala two today. Ine ndeumfwa ba PK Chishala, ati “Umwaume wamapulukutu” he he he…

  11. Things are more likely to get worse before getting better. Everyone knows that the cause of cholera is related to the water quality and lack of basic sanitation especially in shanty towns. Now, there is a more likelihood to have more shanties than running water in existing shanties!

  12. ZAMBIAN PEOPLE WHO ARE BLAMING EVERYTHING ON ZIMBABWEANS ARE VERY SAD, INDEED. I AM A ZAMBIA. BUT, BE REMINDED THAT ZIMBABWEANS HAVE SET THEIR STANDARDS VERY HIGH. SO, WHEN OPPORTUNITY STRIKES ZIMs WILL OVERTAKE ZAMBIA IN NO TIME. IN FACT ZAMBIA IS NOT EVEN AHEAD. ZAMBIA IS JUST SH!TT!NG IN HER OWN PANTS. IN SHORT LIVE THE ZIMBABWEANS ALONE. THEY ARE FREE TO MOVE ANYWHERE. IF YOU THINK WRONG EGGS CAME INTO ZAMBIA, WHERE WERE THE IMMIGRATION OFFICERS OF ZAMBIA? FACT IS THEY JUST HAD QUICK SEX WITH THOSE SISTERS AND GAVE THEM FREE ENTRY, THEREAFTER.

  13. We are very proud that our dynamic govt has managed to control this preventable disease ; well at least until next week or the week after when new cases reach hospital!We are due a repeat performance in a couple of months; meantime rejoice ,we are lucky to have such caring, selfless, and hard working ministers! I AM DREAMING!

  14. A lot of thanx to the govt for the good work. Please contd, we knew when we voted for you. You are a working govt and not a talking govt.
    Please may God bless yopu RB and honour you with many years to rule.
    I know you have started a lot of projects around the country and Zambians are very happy with your performance within a short period of time.
