Team@orientactualmags.com learned that the state Deputy Governor, Alhaji Auwal Jatau disclosed this during the inauguration of the State Cholera Steering Committee and the State Technical Working Committee in Bauchi.
Cholera, he noted, has remained one of the major public health threats despite the state government’s efforts to tackle the disease.
‘These outbreaks are often preventable with timely interventions, coordinated responses, and sustained improvements in water, sanitation and hygiene. Bauchi State has recorded not less than 258 new cases and 58 fatalities.
It is in this regard that this committee is expected to serve as the Central Coordinating body to lead Bauchi State’s Multi-Sectoral Response to cholera outbreaks and to drive long-term prevention strategies in alignment with the National Cholera Control Plan and the broader goals of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention’ he said-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
