Masisi: Cholera kills five in less than a week in Ufamandu 1, amid warning over medicine shortages

In the Ufamandu 1 groupement in Masisi territory, North Kivu, five people have died of cholera in less than a week, while malaria cases have also been reported. Medical sources say several health facilities are operating at reduced capacity or are paralyzed by medicine shortages, undermining patient care. Children under five are among those most vulnerable to serious complications. Residents are calling on authorities and health partners to urgently restock health centres with essential medicines and restore care services.
