The Mumbwa District Health Mangement Team (MDHMT) has confirmed that the district had recorded some cases cholera over the past week.
District Dirctor of Health, Dr. Christopher Dube, told ZANIS that from amongst the five confirmed cases, four were recorded from Mwembeshi Constituency’s Nampundwe area, and only one from Mumbwa Central.
Dr. Dube said that all the patients were responding well to treatment, and that there was no cause for residents to panic as the DHMT was making steady progress in curbing the spread of the disease.
He did, however, stress the need for residents to uphold high levels of public hygiene as well as individual hygiene and sanitation, adding that the rainy season, coupled with poor observance of cleanlines, helped the spread of such diseases as cholera.
In a related interview, Nangoma Mission Hospital Superintendent, Dr. Chrispin Moyo, disclosed that there were no confirmed cholera cases in the Nangoma Constituency so far.
Dr. Moyo admitted that diarrhoea-related illneses had for a long time posed a big challenge as evidenced in the high occurrence rate, but quickly pointed out that there had been no cholera case recorded to date in spite of the heavy rain pattern.
He cited poor observance of water sanitation standards as the main reason for the high incidence rate of diarrhoea cases through out the year, and pointed out that health workers were making frantic efforts aimed at sensitisation in collaboration with the community.
Residents in Mumbwa had been apprehensive over the district’s cholera status since the start of this year’s rainy season after hearing of reported cases in other Districts.

Please GRZ, give our poeple piped safely water to use for all their activities. 2030 develpment is too far from today. We desperately needed improved conditions in the next 2 and half years MMD GRZ.

This is what real men do instead of behaving like boys who make noise like gongs.
Mumbwans contnue voting for president HH so that he can mitigate your troubles starting at the end of 2011, by God’s grace.
#5 Anso uli chipuba sana neko wafuma.. We mbwawe!!!!!! Pamenso kwati nimalinso ushibete!!!!
hmmm lets see if this’ll make CNN like Zimbabwe’s
#5 Antibiotics alone will not treat cholera. Rehydration is very very important.
Hey Cutey, your language is not lady-like today 🙂
Anyways, this disease is subtle or “hartnäckig” as the Germans would say and it requires equally tough measures to fight it. Once the environment is kept clean & hygienic, we’re done.

All Zambians Please watch this Interview on Youtube, Zambia does not have leaders, The loans they are borrowing just enslaves a country Please watch this video by John Perkins on Youtube “Confessions of an Economic Hit Man – Part I”
President Lansana Conte’s death spells the end of years of misrule in Guinea. When is the misrule of Zambia coming to an end? :-?:-?:-?
Who can tell me why our governments have failed to contain the cholera epidemic in so many years? Why they have failed to deliver clean drinking water and good sanitation and drainage in most of our cities? Are they all so daft that they cant see these as obviously retrogressive and negligent acts? Do they need to wait for people to die before they open their often loud but obvious useless mouths that hang on dull heads.
#12, with due respect to all the reputable bloggers, I lost it today… some ichipuba chakulekeleshako decided to upset me for no reason at all.. elyo nga awekeshapo ala tola umupamba pa blogg.. loleleni… nshili wakwangalilalilako fyaupuba. Iam barely minding my own business on this blogg and has a right to be on this blogg like anyone else. Any more bullcrap… will straight go back to the sender ..

#22 and #5, don’t fight over ideas. It just goes to show how undemocratic you people can be if given power. Allow each other to express your views and agree to disagree in a mature and constructive way. We may all learn from each other. Debate without emotions and push your ideas and convince others why your idea may be the best for the country. No tribe is better than another and we do not need the tribe classification as intellectuals but respect each other’s culture. Culture is so important as it defines what your ancestoral values were which we need to share and respect. Merry Xmas and enjoy the credit crunch.
23. True democrat, you are the one. I liked these ones:
“We may all learn from each other. Debate without emotions and push your ideas and convince others why your idea may be the best for the country. No tribe is better than another and we do not need the tribe classification as intellectuals but respect each other’s culture.”
Enjoy the festive season and the credit crunch too.
