Assefa Meseret Mengistu declares eradication of cholera in the Free Hosian Republic
9 September 5419
Assefa Meseret Mengistu, the leader of the Free Hosian Republic in Cobura, has declared cholera has been eradicated in the region. Over the past two decades, Cobura has dealt with a major outbreak of the bacterial infection. The federal government has set a target for eradicating the disease nationally by the end of the decade. Since the beginning of the Coburan civil war, it is estimated to have killed over 3,000 people.
Prevention of cholera is usually simple where proper sanitation systems exists. Civil war and widespread poverty in Cobura have provided ideal conditions for the spread of the disease since the beginning of the century though. Cobura’s healthcare infrastructure was damaged during the war too. Throughout the conflict, there were repeated reports of militant groups targeting hospitals.
With the support of the International Health Authority, the Coburan federal government and all three regional governments have committed significant resources to rebuilding sanitation systems over the past six years. The project has been a point of shared cooperation between the People’s Salvation Front and Nen-Snēou. President Paŭlo Jozefido and Prime Minister Besammon Kalaphatis recently made a joint commitment to redouble their efforts to meet the target.
Challenges lie ahead in spite of the progress. Cholera thrives in eastern Dilganato within the Majatran Special District. The regional government exercises control over most of the region’s territory but continues to fight against a small number of Majatran militia groups. Healthcare workers have found accessing these regions dangerous or impossible. As a result, there are concerns the disease may continue to flourish while the intermittent conflict persists.
