The cholera epidemic, a bacterial infection caused by consuming contaminated water or food, was declared on July 13, has killed 75 people in eastern Chad, according to statistics released Wednesday by health officials.


Mahamat Hamit Ahmat, Deputy General Secretary in the Ministry of Public Health and Prevention, told reporters the vaccines will help fight a cholera outbreak in Sila and Ouaddai provinces and prevent new cases.


Ahmat said a vaccination campaign will be conducted from September 2 to 8 in five health districts in the east of the country.

The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) and World Health Organization on Tuesday unveiled a continental cholera emergency preparedness and response plan for the period September 2025 to February 2026.
