BRIEF: Cholera kills 74 in Cameroon



Health officials have expressed fears with the rapid spread of Cholera in Cameroon since April 2014.
Initially confined to the Far North region, health observers told press men that the disease is now spreading to other regions, with 2 cases already in the Littoral.
Of the 1609 cases recorded so far, there are indications that 74 of the victims died.
According to officials of the ministry of public health, the first cases this year in the Far North were discovered in the Hina health district. Those cases are reported to have come from neighbouring Nigeria.
However, health authorities have continued to regularly supply the affected regions with drugs, equipments for water purification and cleansing of the environment.
