#cholera
#Cholera remains a major public health threat in Africa, with over 213,500 suspected cases and over 4,400 deaths just in 2025. To tackle this threat, I joined President Hakainde Hichilema and Dr Jean Kaseya in launching the continental preparedness and response plan against cholera, aiming to: 1. Reduce deaths by 90%; 2. Eliminate cholera in 20+ countries in the region; 3. Strengthen preparedness, surveillance and regional collaboration; 4. Drive the whole continent towards elimination by 2030. Political commitment and leadership are key to bring this plan into reality. Together! #RC75
