Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

At least 25 people have died out of 1,160 reported cases of cholera in three local government areas of Sokoto State, according to the state’s Commissioner for Health, Asabe Balarabe.

Balarabe who was speaking to Journalists in Sokoto disclosed that 15 patients are currently receiving treatment for the outbreak in Sokoto North, Silame, and Kware local government areas.

The commissioner explained that the active cases were confirmed through laboratory tests involving culture and sensitivity analysis.

According to her “Out of the 1,160 cases recorded, 25 individuals have unfortunately lost their lives to the disease.”

She added that state rescue teams are working closely with the government to manage the situation and prevent further spread.

In response to the outbreak, the state government has authorized the immediate purchase and distribution of free drugs to 18 local government areas to contain the disease.

She commended the increasing number of women, including pregnant women, seeking medical consultations and tests at state health facilities.

She also highlighted the significant challenges facing the health sector, such as deteriorating infrastructure and limited resources, which have hindered progress over the past eight years.

She expressed optimism that Governor Ahmad Aliyu would prioritize the revitalization of the health sector. “Patients in public health institutions often face numerous challenges, including overcrowding, noise pollution, water shortages, and power outages,” she said.

Balarabe praised the governor’s efforts to recruit 864 nurses and midwives to address the manpower deficit in public health facilities.

She also revealed plans to hire additional support staff to replace those who have retired or passed away.
