A Nairobi Hospital staff and seven others are admitted following a cholera outbreak at the premier health facility in the capital.

Sources at the hospital on Tuesday told the Nation that at least 23 cases of the water-borne disease, eight involving staff, had been treated at the hospital in April alone.

The hospital’s cafeteria has been closed indefinitely as the management battles to contain the spread of the disease.

I think the patients admitted there should be moved to other hospitals. You wouldn't want to have a patient in a cholera infested hospital.

So this is affecting the cafeteria not the hospital kitchen?

Are we still have something like that in 21th century ? I hope it's not fatal in current times. I think it will be better to check yourself with some test, are they now ? What needs to test ? Fecalies, sorry ? Or something else like blood or whatever ? I am worried.

Contrary, they should be quarantined at Nbi Hosp. Moving then elsewhere would spread kipindupindu like bush-fire to other facilities. Much easier to contain it at source.

We should just have countrywide vaccination for cholera. Its recurrence is too high

C&P
The cholera bacterium is usually found in water or food sources that have been contaminated by feces (poop) from a person infected with cholera. Cholera is most likely to be found and spread in places with inadequate water treatment, poor sanitation, and inadequate hygiene.

The last sentence is scary considering what is happening at the Nbi Hospital.
