The recent cholera outbreak in Buhera district has caused concern among government officials and health organizations, leading to urgent action being taken to address the issue. 

With over 2000 reported cases and 83 deaths since March, the situation is dire and requires immediate attention.

In response, the government has announced plans to commission the drilling of boreholes in affected communities this week. This initiative aims to provide access to clean drinking water, which has been identified as a major contributing factor to the outbreak. Many of the affected individuals have been getting water from unprotected sources such as wells and rivers, putting them at risk of contracting the disease.

Health and Child Care Minister Douglas Mombeshora, along with officials from various organizations, recently visited health facilities in Buhera to assess the situation. During the visit, it was noted that poor sanitation and health-seeking behaviors also played a role in the spread of cholera. As a result, the government plans to engage with religious leaders to encourage their followers to seek medical care.

In addition to drilling boreholes, the government will also be recalling more rigs from other areas to Buhera district to speed up the process. This collaboration between different organizations and ministries is crucial in effectively managing the outbreak.

Unicef country director Dr Tajudeen Oyewale commended the efforts put in place by the government and emphasized the importance of coordination in such situations. He also highlighted the need for preparedness as the rainy season approaches.

The government's swift response and proactive measures are commendable in addressing the cholera outbreak in Buhera. With the drilling of boreholes and other initiatives in place, it is hoped that access to clean water will improve, and the number of cases and deaths will decrease. It is also important for individuals to practice good hygiene and seek medical care if they experience any symptoms of cholera. 

Let us all work together to combat this outbreak and ensure the health and well-being of our communities.
