Cholera outbreaks being reported only from districts with active surveillance

Active surveillance of cholera is being carried out in only four districts only—the Valley’s three and Kailali. Experts say water and sanitation conditions in the rest of the districts are poor as well.

At least 20 diarrhoeal patients—12 from Lalitpur, eight from Kailali and two from Kathmandu—were found to have contracted cholera recently.
