Cholera alert declared as Jubilee sets up special ward

Nyangabgwe Referral Hospital's (NRH) authorities and the Francistown City Council (FCC) pull out all stops and putting everyone on high alert for the disease that is spreading to South Africa, Zambia, the DRC and Botswana from its 'provenance' in Zimbabwe.

Two patients have already been diagnosed for cholera and admitted to Jubilee Clinic where the TB Ward has been converted into a Cholera Ward, giving the lie to the appearance of normality there and at the referral hospital.
