An outbreak of cholera has been reported in the province of Capo Delgado in the far northeast of the country. Capo Delgado is the sixth province in the country to report a cholera outbreak since the end of last year (2014). The others include: Niassa, Nampula, Tete, Zambezia and Sofala.
Thirty eight cases of cholera have been confirmed in Pemba, the capital city of Capo Degado province. A cholera treatment centre has been opened in the city.
Since the beginning of 2015, the Ministry of Health has reported 7408 cases of cholera in Mozambique.
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.
