Dr. Dangana disclosed that, “the Ministry with support from various MDAs and partners like the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) was very active and I can tell you that we are winning the battle against cholera.”

He added that the Ministry has doubled the level of sensitization by reaching out to over 16,000 school children, went to markets, religious and traditional institutions to create awareness.
