KEY HIGHLIGHTS
Cholera and acute watery diarrhea persist in the country, with 6,605 cumulative cases and 72 cumulative deaths (CFR 1.1%) recorded across 28 districts as per the end March 2024.
Additional resources are needed to bolster the cholera response efforts, as health partners scale up response to cholera in collaboration with WASH cluster and the Federal Ministry of Health.
Federal ministry of health has received 1.4 million doses of oral cholera vaccines to intensify the response against the persistent cholera outbreak. These vaccines will be used to cover the population of 1 year and above in six hotspot districts: Bossaso, Qardo, Garowe, Mahaday, Buurhakaba, and Balcad.
Due to funding constraints, IOM will no longer be able to support seven fixed health facilities and 33 mobile clinics by the end of June 2024 across the country.
