MSF Cholera Intervention

Nigeria has witnessed three major Cholera outbreaks in the past two decades alone. Since 2015, MSF has had cholera intervention operations every year in different parts of Nigeria. Our response takes new leaps every year, whether with our designated facilities or the community-based activities, we address various challenges and overcome numerous obstacles, resulting in quick recoveries and meagre fatality rates.
On 22 June, 2021, the Nigerian government activated the Nigerian National Cholera Emergency Operations Centre, due to an increase in reported cholera cases.
Our teams are responding to the most urgent aspects of the outbreak, with the aim to save lives, limit the spread as quickly as possible, and provide access to acute diarrhea treatment services. Response often begins with setting up a Cholera Treatment Centre (CTC), and extends to Oral Rehydration Points (ORPs) spread across affected states, which serve as simple treatment spots and referral points to the main CTC in case of confirmed cholera cases.
In May this year, we set up a 130-bed CTC in Kano state, an 80-bed CTC in Bauchi state, and a 40-bed CTC in Tambaruwa, which was closed at the end of July. As the epidemic began to affect other states throughout August, we scaled up the intervention to other CTCs: a 72-bed in Anka, 30-bed in Shinkafi and 68-bed in Zurmi.
