Malawi Health Equity Network (MHEN) has urged Malawians to strictly observe cholera prevention measures following continued cases being recorded in different districts across the country.
In an interview with Malawi News Agency (MANA), MHEN Executive Director, George Jobe, emphasised on the need for communities to prioritise hygiene and sanitation practices to contain the further spread of the disease.
“People must ensure that they drink safe and treated water, wash their hands regularly with soap, and maintain cleanliness in their surroundings to avoid cholera infections,” said Jobe.
According to Jobe, early treatment and community awareness remain key in reducing cholera-related deaths and preventing more outbreak in affected areas.
According to the dashboard released by the Ministry of Health and Sanitation on Wednesday, Malawi has recorded 14 new cholera cases, bringing the cumulative number of cases to 2,770 since December 11, 2025.
The dashboard also shows that the country, currently, has 14 admissions, five cumulative deaths, and 10 districts still reporting cholera cases.
