Justine is one of the patients treated at the Cholera Treatment Centre (CTC) at Uvira General Hospital. Many people in her community have no access to drinking water or sanitary facilities, which encourages the rapid spread of cholera. She is the fourth member of her family to be treated at the CTC.





In collaboration with the Ministry of Health, MSF teams treated almost 800 cases of cholera between February and May 2025 in three specialised treatment centres: the Kiliba hospital centre, the Sangé general hospital and the Uvira general referral hospital.

In the community, the teams have installed more than 90 water chlorination points and supported two large water distribution structures to facilitate access to drinking water, thereby contributing to the prevention of diseases with epidemic potential.
