The cholera outbreak in Harare was declared a State of Emergency by the Ministry of Health and Child Care (MoHCC) of Zimbabwe. Poor waste disposal systems and broken sewers were blamed for the disease outbreak which induced widespread dehydration.
Cholera is an acute diarrheal illness that causes life-threatening dehydration and kills thousands of people worldwide each year. Partnering with Africare and the local medical community, Dr. Dolhun administered 2,400 DripDrop sticks to patients suffering from Cholera-induced dehydration.
