Some areas still remain very difficult to access due to the flood waters and assessments are ongoing. MSF continues to run community-based activities to tackle the last remaining cases of cholera and limit the possibility of a resurgence of the outbreak. The activities include providing clean water, improving sanitation, distribution of soap and other hygiene items, as well as health promotion. In addition, MSF is rehabilitating health structures, distributing non-food items such as soap and blankets in areas with difficult access, running mobile clinics to provide primary health care (including malaria and malnutrition screening) and providing mental health care.
