Kotido District Information Officer, Mr Orisa Joseph said the sickness which emerged 2 weeks ago is caused by lack of enough latrines in the District which is at only 4%.
“We are in a terrible situation and to make things worse, Kotido District has no hospital, what we have is a health centre with only two medical doctors and the most affected areas include; Panyangara, Rengen, Nakapelimoru, and Romrom sub counties in Western Division of Kotido Municipality,’ he said.
According to Orisa, the Kotido Health Centre IV has no essential medical equipments such as fluids and specialized beds.
The Kotido District Health Officer Mr Achar Cerino said they have put up an isolation centre, where they’ll handle cholera cases from, but also appealed to the NGO partners to help offer their support to the district.
