Abidjan is facing an epidemic of cholera that has killed 15 people since the beginning of the year.

This information was given yesterday at a press conference by Professor Teresa N'Dri-Yoman, Minister of Health and the Fight against AIDS. It was in his office at the Plateau. The minister said the disease is linked to poor personal and environmental hygiene. Infection occurs by eating contaminated food and water. The head of health noted that the characteristic signs of cholera are profuse diarrhea and vomiting riziformes (rice water). And therefore anyone with its signs will visit the clinic nearest to where the care is free. Consumption of drinking water, protect food against flies, wash hands with soap and water after defecation and before every meal are not limited to advice given by the Minister.
