Chad: Cholera epidemic kills four in refugee camp

French.news.cn | 2025-07-25 at 20:47

N'DJAMENA, July 25 (Xinhua) -- A cholera epidemic has killed four people in the Dougui refugee camp in Chad's eastern province of Ouaddai, the Ministry of Public Health and Prevention announced Friday.

To date, 42 suspected cases have been recorded, including four deaths, he said in a statement, adding that samples had been taken and sent to N'Djamena for analysis. The analysis confirmed the presence of the Vibrio cholerae bacteria, which causes cholera, in two samples.

To prevent the spread of the epidemic, the Ministry urged the public to avoid touching suspected cases without proper protection and to seek help from health personnel, to limit social gatherings, to strictly adhere to hygiene rules, such as washing fruits and vegetables before eating them, and to immediately report any suspected cases to the nearest health facility.

However, the ministry assured that all measures were being taken for proper management to contain the epidemic in time and space. It called for vigilance from all to protect collective health.

Recently, a large cholera epidemic broke out in Sudan, Chad's neighbor. The World Health Organization warned on July 11 that cholera cases in Sudan were on the rise and could spread to neighboring countries, including Chad, which is hosting hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing the civil war in Sudan.

Chad: Cholera epidemic "under control," according to the Minister of Health

August 26, 2025

Since July 24, Chad has been battling a cholera epidemic that has caused 63 deaths so far. In this interview, Minister of Public Health and Prevention Dr. Abdelmadjid Abderahim outlined the measures taken by the Chadian government to contain the disease. He also reassured the population that "the situation is under control," emphasizing the essential role of social and community mobilization.

Mr. Minister, Chad in general and the Ouaddaï province are facing a resurgence of cholera. More than 60 deaths have been recorded in this province, which prompted your trip. What exactly can we learn from this situation?

On July 13, 2025, we recorded a case of a person suffering from gastroenteritis in the Chokoyan district, which required a sample to be taken. On July 24, we revealed a positive case of cholera. To date, according to the latest situation report (SITREP), we have recorded 938 cases, 797 patients treated, cured, and discharged, and unfortunately 63 deaths. But the situation is under control thanks to an unprecedented social and community mobilization, involving administrative authorities, traditional and religious leaders, including refugees from the province, who came out en masse to support the population in raising awareness and respecting appropriate hygiene measures to prevent the spread of the disease.

The Government of the Republic has also mobilized, with its technical and financial partners, the necessary human, material, and financial resources to ensure better care for all patients affected by this disease. The epidemic curve is falling, and thanks to the support of partners through the ICG, which we welcome, the arrival of vaccines on August 29 will allow the vaccination campaign to begin.

Why does this province have so many cases, Minister, compared to other provinces?

Simply because Ouaddaï is the epicenter of the Darfur crisis, and the first case was also recorded in the Sudanese refugee camp of Dougui. In addition, the difficulties are linked to the intense mobility of refugees from one camp to another, including new refugees entering this province, which constitutes a significant factor in the spread of this disease.

What measures has the Chadian government taken to combat this disease?

The government has mobilized all necessary resources (human, logistical and financial, including community resources) not only to prevent the disease through hygiene measures, but also to ensure adequate care in terms of cholera and WASH kits, including vehicles to facilitate the transport of patients.

Furthermore, as this is an intersectoral fight, the Ministries of Water and Humanitarian Action, as well as NGOs, are supporting the government in facilitating access to drinking water, water treatment with a purifying solution, treatment and the provision of latrines. In addition, the Ministry of Defense has provided a helicopter to facilitate the delivery of supplies to hard-to-reach areas.

In addition, the government has established a daily response coordination meeting to better harmonize actions to combat this cholera epidemic, which we are personally coordinating, in order to facilitate access to care for the entire population.

Chad: 75 deaths due to cholera epidemic recorded in the East

The editorial staff
August 28, 2025
3:13 pm

In Chad, the cholera epidemic declared in mid-July in Ouaddaï province has already killed 75 people and spread to the neighboring province of Sila, according to health authorities. The rapid spread is being fueled by the precarious conditions in refugee camps near the Sudanese border, where more than 876,000 displaced people are crammed. In response to the emergency, the government has received a donation of medicines from the United Arab Emirates and is planning a vaccination campaign in early September, supported by UNICEF and the WHO. Humanitarian workers fear a dual health and food impact on vulnerable populations.
