Around 4272 cases of acute watery diarrhoea have reported to Banadir Hospital in 2012, of those 181 have died.
Advice for Travellers
Travellers to outbreak areas who will be mixing closely with the local population and cannot ensure safe drinking water can be immunised against cholera. A high standard of food, water and personal hygiene should also be maintained.
