It would be recalled that 11 died of cholera outbreak in the state. The Commissioner said the state government has before now putting in place proactive measure as the sum of N70 million was so far released this year for Communicable Diseases Control such as CSM, Diarrhea and vomiting among others.
According to Hajiya Mariatu, “We do have a Cholera
outbreak in Katsina. We have surveillance system across the 34 LGAs. The
Disease surveillance and notification officers work directly with the Primary
Health Care Development Agency responsible for the managing of outbreaks like
these. They have been on alert since the first case in Kusada.
“Currently, we have cases of Diarrhea and
Vomiting in about Seven LGAs. 180 persons were affected by the diarrhea and
vomiting outbreak and we recorded 12 deaths. Seven (7) local governments were
affected. It includes Funtua, Kaita, Jibia, Kankia, Ingawa, Kusada and Katsina.
“Government has procured emergency drugs for the 34 LGAs and released to the
PHC at the LGAs for onward distribution to the drugs to affected areas. We are
proposing to procure chlorine for the 34 LGAs to safeguard their water because
we realise the cause is from consumption and drinking of contaminated water and
consumption of contaminated foods or vegetables. “Our religion teaches and encourages
that we visit a sick patient in the hospital and it attracts reward but we are
discouraging and advising the people to desist from visiting patients with
diarrhea and vomiting until he or she gets better.
“Adequate steps have been taken to curtail the
spread including public enlightenment, live phone in radio tv programs, on the
spot assessment by State Epidemiologist and his team, provision of drugs and
commodities for the treatment of patients free of charge. Intensive radio and
tv jingles are scheduled to commence this week InshaAllah,” Hajiya Mariatu
