Fresh cases of cholera have left 61 people dead and 50 still on admission in hospitals across Yobe State.

Confirming the figures on Friday in a statement, the state government also noted that there were 906 fresh cases.

According to NAN, Dr Muhammad Kawuwa, Commissioner for Health, said the cases of Acute Water Diarrhoea (AWD) reported in parts of the state were later confirmed to be cholera after laboratory tests.

He said: “Some of the AWD cases were caused by Vibrio bacterae, the bacteria that cause cholera. Over 795 patients were successfully treated and discharged, 50 are still on admission in various health facilities across the state.

“Unfortunately, we lost 61 patients mainly due to delays in timely reporting to the healthcare facilities for life saving treatment.”

He also stated that 906 cases were recorded in six local government areas: Gujba, Gulani, Damaturu, Fune, Potiskum and Nangere in two months.

Kawuwa said the Ministry of Health, the World Health Organisation (WHO), University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital and the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), Abuja were authenticating the causes of the outbreak, noting that “in the light of this and due to our continued concern for the health of our people, the state government is therefore declaring outbreak cholera in the state”.

According to the commissioner, the move became necessary ensure improved response with the support of international partners.

He identified personal hygiene, absence of sanitation facilities in the communities and flooding of water sources by the rains as possible causes of the outbreak, just as he called on Water, Sanitation and Health sector partners, religious and traditional leaders and the people to support government efforts to contain the outbreak.

you are actually one dumb mudafvker, how do you manage to live with yourself knowing that you are this dumb? Cases like this can be easily resolved without it having the opportunity to take lives. So it is time to call God, abi? You mustn't be sentimental at every given instance.

Buhari Weldon.. Abj to London

Sickness get behind us in Nigeria

Hope the moderators are still online?!

Seun, We won't like to be dragged in dirt with this uncultured member you have here!
Seems he enjoy rolling in the mud.
We are too clean for that.
Take note!

Sad! Life has become so cheap in Nigeria of recent...... Its shameful to hear that a preventable disease like cholera will still claim lives in '2018' especially in a rich Nation like ours! It has been reported also that there is currently an outbreak of Monkey pox in 15 states of the federation... Hoping that our hardworking health workers will be provided effective leadership to curtail this preventable loss of lives.

what have we the Gworo chewing Republic done to Biafrans that they have decided to send us diseases??

WTF! This is not only tragic. It is sad and ignominious. How Cholera outbreak could kill so many people so fast in a country existing in the modern world.

SAD.

Funny but true.
With the level of sluggishness and incompetence I'm seeing, Ebola would have left Nigeria with just 14million people

You said it . Exisitng in the modern world not moving, adapting to the modern world

They’ve ruled Nigeria the most, still occupy some of the most lucrative positions in the public and private sectors yet they can’t provide basic amenities to the poor almanjeris used as foot soldiers to kill and maim other tribes groups at any provocation. Yet these almanjeris will be shouting sai baba under the sun and in the rain.

Sorry, is Yobe the headquarter for cholera this is too much naw

He should play his own part by providing portable water to the rural areas and also they should make sanitation in those areas very important.
