An estimated 140.000 Malawians affected by the floods remain in very high need of medical services in the hard-to-reach Nsanje and East
Bank areas, with cholera representing the most immediate threat, said the medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders
(MSF), currently the only medical humanitarian actor responding on in this most affected district in support of the Malawi ministry of Health
teams.
As of today, 20 cholera cases, one of them
fatal, have been reported in Mbenje, Lulwe,
Nkhande and Ndamera, in the Southern
part of Nsanje district.MSFhas supported
the ministry of Health in setting up small
cholera units in both locations providing,
among others, oral rehydration salts, tents,
chlorine, soap and boots.
Neighbouring Mozambique has already
recorded 2.400 cholera cases, including 28
deaths, spread across three provinces
including Tete province which borders
Malawi. In Tete and MoatizeMSFhas set
up and co-manages with the Mozambican
ministry of health two treatment centres
that currently treat over 100 patients.
