Cholera outbreak in Tanzania


Five cholera treatment centres have been established in Tanzania following recent outbreaks of the disease in the country, the World Health Organization (WHO) has reported.

Reports say so far, there have been more than 970 cases of the diarrhoeal disease, including 13 deaths.

WHO says cholera is recurrent in many African countries due to factors such as poor hygiene and sanitation, but also a lack of planning ahead of potential outbreaks.
