South Sudan: Racing to stop a cholera outbreak


South Sudan has been grappling with an outbreak of cholera since October 2024, which has been fueled by dire water and sanitation conditions and gaps in health care and other essential services.

 

 

After overseeing MSF’s response in recent months, Dr. Mohammed Musoke, MSF medical adviser for South Sudan and Chad, calls for urgent action to strengthen and properly fund South Sudan’s fragile health care system so that further outbreaks can be avoided.
