Why are we still fighting a disease from the 1800s?
Cholera cases are exploding across multiple regions — not because the bacteria got stronger, but because global systems got weaker.

Cholera forces five into isolation at Opuwo Justicia Shipena The ministry of health and social services has declared a cholera outbreak in the Opuwo District of the Kunene Region following confirmation of locally transmitted cases. Health minister, Dr Esperance Luvindao, made the announcement on Thursday during a media briefing in Windhoek.  She said eight suspected cases had been reported as of 18 June 2025.  Six of these, including one death, are from the same household. Two other suspected cases were identified in Opuwo and Otjimuhaka village.  Preliminary tests for those two came back negative.  Confirmatory tests for the first two cases were conducted by the National Institute for Communicable Diseases in South Africa.  The results confirmed the presence of Vibrio cholerae 01, the bacteria that cause cholera. “Obtaining from these confirmed findings, I thus today officially declare a cholera outbreak in Opuwo District,” said Luvindao. She said that under World Health Organisation standards, even one locally transmitted confirmed case qualifies as an outbreak. The first four cases, three of them children, were admitted to Opuwo District Hospital with symptoms consistent with cholera.  One patient died from severe dehydration. The remaining five are being treated in an isolation ward and are in stable condition. Cholera is a waterborne disease that spreads through contaminated water or food.  It can cause severe diarrhoea and dehydration, and if not treated quickly, can lead to death. The ministry has activated an incident management system to coordinate a national response.  Rapid response teams have been deployed to affected areas.  Other measures include strengthening disease surveillance and laboratory testing, community engagement, and public health education. “We are gaining practical insight into what works in the region,” said Luvindao.  She stressed the importance of a “whole-of-government and whole-of-society” response to stop the outbreak. Efforts are underway to improve water quality through chlorination and other safe water supply measures.  The ministry has also established Oral Rehydration Points and Cholera Treatment Units to provide immediate care and manage the spread of the disease. Luvindao urged the public to drink only treated or boiled water, wash hands regularly with soap and clean water, and avoid eating food from unsafe sources.  She encouraged anyone experiencing watery diarrhoea or vomiting to seek immediate medical attention and start taking oral rehydration solutions. She called on all sectors, including government, civil society, and local leaders, to help ensure access to clean water and sanitation. “Together, through coordinated efforts and responsible actions, we can control and end this outbreak,” said Luvindao.

Health ministry declares cholera outbreak at Opuwo The Ministry of Health and Social Services has officially declared a cholera outbreak in the Opuwo district. This comes after confirmation of two cases of Vibrio cholerae 01, which is a strain known for causing outbreaks. Health minister Esperance Luvindao announced this during a press briefing on Thursday morning. “The preliminary tests have been made on the reported eight suspected cases, as well as the confirmatory tests for the six cases. We have now received the confirmatory test results for the first two cases,” she said. The announcement comes after the ministry last Friday reported a suspected outbreak to the World Health Organisation (WHO). Luvindao said the first four suspected cases, in three children and one adult, were all from the same household at Opuwo. One of the individuals tragically died due to severe dehydration. As of 18 June, the ministry has recorded eight suspected cholera cases. Six of these, including the death, originated from a single household at Opuwo, while the other two are from Opuwo and Otjimuhaka village. According to the WHO, one locally transmitted confirmed case qualifies as an outbreak. “Obtaining from these confirmed findings, I thus today officially declare a cholera outbreak in the Opuwo district of the Kunene region,” Luvindao announced. She said the five remaining patients from the affected household are currently in isolation and reportedly in a stable condition at Opuwo District Hospital. Luvindao said while the situation does not warrant panic, it calls for a “whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach” to prevent further spread. She said cholera is not only a public health concern, but “an indicator of inequity and a reflection of underlying social development challenges”, including poor access to safe water, sanitation, and healthcare services.

First cholera outbreak after disease-free decade THE Ministry of Health and Social Services has warned the public of a suspected cholera outbreak at Opuwo in the Kunene region. This comes after several members of one household were admitted to hospital with concerning symptoms, according to a notice released on Friday. While preliminary tests have detected the bacteria responsible for cholera, additional lab results are needed to confirm the outbreak. The ministry was initially informed of two four-year old children from the same household who were admitted to Opuwo District Hospital on 9 June. Both children were suffering from acute profuse watery diarrhoea and severe dehydration. “Unfortunately, one child passed away shortly after he was brought to the hospital, while the other child is still in the isolation ward at the same hospital and is recovering,” the ministry says. Two more family members, aged five and 35, were reported to have symptoms consistent with cholera on Friday. They have also been admitted to the isolation ward at the town and are in stable condition. Engagement with the family revealed no history of international travel, visitors from outside the country, or attendance of public gatherings. “Public health interventions have been instituted to ensure early detection of additional cases, public education on cholera prevention, and promotion of early health-seeking behaviour. The public is urged not to panic, but to cooperate, support, and comply with the control measures put in place to prevent further spread of infection,” the ministry says. Prior to this year, Namibia had enjoyed an entire decade free from cholera. This positive record was broken when the health ministry confirmed that a woman (55) was diagnosed with the disease on 11 March. The World Health Organisation defines an outbreak as at least one laboratory-confirmed, locally acquired case of the disease. Anyone experiencing similar symptoms is urged to present to their nearest health facility immediately. The post First cholera outbreak after disease-free decade appeared first on The Namibian.

MoHSS investigate suspected cholera outbreak in Opuwo Niël Terblanché The ministry of health and social services (MoHSS) is investigating a suspected cholera outbreak in the Opuwo District of the Kunene region after several individuals from the same household fell ill and one child died. According to the ministry, two four-year-old children were taken to Opuwo District Hospital on 9 June 2025.  Both showed signs of acute, watery diarrhoea and severe dehydration. One of the children died shortly after arrival.  The other child remains in the hospital’s isolation ward and is recovering. Preliminary lab tests conducted on 11 and 12 June detected Vibrio cholerae, the bacteria that cause cholera, in samples taken from the children. However, the ministry said confirmatory results were still pending. On 13 June, two more suspected cases from the same household were admitted to the hospital. A five-year-old child and a 35-year-old adult. Both are in isolation and in a stable condition. The ministry said none of the affected individuals had recently travelled or attended public events such as funerals or weddings. “Engagement with the family revealed no travel history among family members and no confirmation of receiving visitors from outside the country,” said the ministry’s executive director, Penda Ithindi, in a media statement over the weekend.  According to international health standards, one locally acquired, lab-confirmed case of cholera is enough to declare an outbreak and trigger public health actions.  “At the time of preparing this notice, the MoHSS is still waiting for the confirmatory laboratory results; therefore, we are suspecting a cholera outbreak, but this is not confirmed yet,” Ithindi said.  Ithindi said health officials have already started response efforts in Opuwo.  These include early case detection, public education, and encouraging people to seek medical help if they experience symptoms. He reminded the public that cholera is preventable and treatable, but can be deadly if not managed quickly. “If left untreated, cholera can be fatal, with a fatality rate estimated at 25–50%.  However, with prompt and appropriate treatment, this can be reduced to less than 1%,” the release said. Namibia is one of several African countries currently facing cholera concerns. As of 15 May 2025, over 116,000 cases and more than 2,400 deaths have been reported worldwide.  Most were in Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Sudan, and Sudan. The ministry has urged anyone with symptoms such as watery diarrhoea and vomiting to seek immediate medical care.
