    Diarrhoea, typhoid cases rise

    Mushrooming of food vendors has also raised questions on improper handling of food items, which are being cooked and sold on street pavements with no checks whatsoever in place.

    A recent weekly disease surveillance report from the Ministry of Health for the week ending May 17, indicated there were 9 985 cases of diarrhoea reported in that week and six deaths. As of that same date since the beginning of the year, over 190 000 cases had been reported and 197 people died from diarrhoea.

    Under the same period, there were 36 new suspected cases of typhoid, and 33 of those were in Harare with the remaining from Nyanga district.

    As of that date there has been 301 confirmed typhoid and 559 suspected cases.
