The Plateau State Commissioner for Health, Nicholas Baamlong, said the state has recorded five cases of cholera, three fatalities and 20 suspected cases.

Mr Baamlong, on Wednesday in Jos, said the confirmed cases were reported in Ngyong, Hurti and Wurit communities in Bokkos Local Government Area (LGA).

According to Mr Baamlong, the state ministry of health has activated an incident management system for a comprehensive and multi-sectoral response to the outbreak.

He further said that the state epidemiologist had been appointed as the incident manager for the cholera outbreak in the state.

According to the commissioner, the duties of the incident manager entail overseeing the establishment of oral rehydration centres in the affected communities, the establishment of cholera treatment centres and units at the college hospital in Bokkos LGA.

He said the incident manager would also coordinate surveillance, case management and risk communication activities.

Audience Feedback Survey

Mr Baamlong attributed the contributing risk factors of the outbreak to poor sanitation, limited access to clean water and the population displacement from the recent attacks in Bokkos LGA.
