The Angolan Ministry of Health announced on Tuesday that a cholera outbreak has resulted in 32 deaths and a total of 671 cases across the nation since it was officially declared two weeks ago.
According to the ministry's latest data, more than 70% of the cases have been concentrated in Luanda, the capital province, with the disease now spreading to multiple provinces throughout Angola.
The demographic hardest hit includes children; those aged 2-9 have seen 168 cases with 10 fatalities, while the 10-19 age group has recorded the same number of cases but with three deaths.
The first confirmed case was reported on January 7, leading to the official declaration of an outbreak. Health officials are urging the public to take preventive measures to curb the spread of the disease. (ILKHA)
