The Ministry of Health has announced an outbreak of Cholera in Nairobi’s Kamukunji area. “Because sanitizing is out in some cases, because people are no longer wearing masks and so on, cholera is back in case you didn't know. We have a bit of an outbreak of cholera in Kamukunji," Kagwe said"I have absolutely no doubt at the height of the Covid-19, there would have been no cholera because everyone would have been washing their hands and sanitizing,” he added. Cholera is an acute diarrhea illness caused by infection of the intestine with vibrio cholerae bacteria. Kagwe said we need a paradigm shift in the way that we tackle healthcare in the country in relation to infectious illnesses.
