The Zambia National Public Health Institute (ZNPHI) says the recently reported cholera outbreak in most parts of the country, has been successfully contained.
ZNPHI National Cholera Coordinator, Masuzyo Zyambo has explained that cumulative cholera cases recorded stand at 622, since November, 2025.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with the media, Mr Zyambo stressed that although nine deaths were previously recorded, no new cholera related deaths have been reported to date.
He further stated that only one new case has been recorded in Chilanga area of Lusaka, indicating a significant reduction in transmission.
Mr Zyambo also disclosed that 225,858 people have so far been vaccinated against cholera in affected areas, across the country.
He emphasised on the need for the public to continue observing preventive measures, in order to prevent a resurgence of the disease.
“It is important for people to continue upholding hygiene and sanitation measures, in order to prevent cholera,” he said.
He has since commended government’s sustained hygiene focused cholera prevention campaigns, as a key intervention to curb further transmission.
