The Kenyan Ministry of Health announced that the cholera pandemic has spread to six regions, including the nation’s capital, Nairobi, and that there have been a total of roughly 60 cases of injury so far.
The “Cholera outbreak” was recognised by the Kenyan health authorities in six of the nation’s provinces, including the capital city of Nairobi, where 17 cases were reported.
According to the Ministry of Health in East Africa, which has a population of 50 million people, the origin of the epidemic is a “wedding ceremony held in Kimo Province”, about ten kilometers north of the capital, Nairobi.
Thirty-one injuries were reported in this province alone, which is half the number of injuries reported nationwide. Thirteen victims, according to the health authorities, were sent to hospitals due to the severity of their conditions.
The Ministry of Health issued a statement warning that the country’s ongoing drought, which has intensified to a degree unseen in 40 years, “may worsen the” cholera outbreak.”
Kenya reports the cholera outbreak in 6 provinces, after the announcements from Syria and Lebanon.
