Angola is facing a health crisis with a cholera outbreak that has so far resulted in 12 deaths and 170 confirmed cases, according to the Ministry of Health on Saturday. The epidemic mainly affects the northern coastal region of the country, with the municipality of Cacuaco, on the outskirts of Luanda, identified as the epicenter of the outbreak.

Since the first case was confirmed last Tuesday, authorities have reported a steady increase in infections, including 51 new cases and three deaths in the last 24 hours. The outbreak has spread to two municipalities in Luanda province, raising concerns about the healthcare system’s ability to contain the disease. Currently, 15 patients remain hospitalized in Cacuaco, where 20 of the 24 new cases confirmed on Friday were reported.

The Ministry of Health traces the origin of the outbreak to December 31, when a patient presented symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea. Samples from suspected cases are being analyzed to determine the extent of the spread. According to official data, 53% of those affected are women, while 47% are men.

Cholera, an acute diarrheal disease caused by the Vibrio cholerae bacterium, is contracted through the consumption of contaminated food or water. With an incubation period ranging from two hours to five days, it can spread quickly and become fatal within hours without proper treatment. Health authorities have activated emergency measures and urged the population to strengthen hygiene practices, particularly in the handling of food and drinking water, to prevent further infections.
