Africa CDC Support on Cholera Outbreak in Zambia


As cholera cases surge in Southern Africa’s member states, particularly in Zambia and Zimbabwe, the Africa CDC has been following and supporting the response efforts. In Zambia, a delegation of the Africa CDC led by the Ag. Deputy Director General Dr Ahmed Ogwell Ouma, on behalf of Director General H.E. Dr Jean Kaseya, conducted high-level engagements with the Zambian Minister of Health, Honourable Sylvia Masebo, to assess the cholera situation and identify critical gaps for continuous support.
