Cholera Awareness and Prevention - Iraq - 2015 

Cholera Awareness and Prevention - Iraq - 2015 

On September 15 the Government of Iraq confirmed a new outbreak of cholera in Iraq. As of 31 October, 2,217 laboratory-confirmed cases of cholera have been reported in 15 of the country's 18 governorates, with at least two reported deaths and a further 4,016 suspected cases.

Endemic to Iraq, cholera is a gastrointestinal disease, usually spread by contaminated drinking water and food.

Led by the Federal Ministry of Health, UNICEF and the World Health Organization (WHO) immediately responded to the outbreak with water and sanitation improvement measures, the provision of lifesaving health supplies, cholera vaccination drives, and the organization of community-level social mobilization to share information on cholera prevention and treatment, particularly in refugee and IDP camps and in schools.
