Health authorities in Mayotte say the French Indian Ocean territory has the capacity to address the various epidemics affecting Africa and the surrounding region, as a cholera outbreak appears to be under control and a plan is in place to detect and treat cases of mpox.
No new cases of cholera have been identified since 12 July, according to the Regional health agency (ARS) after an epidemic swept through France’s poorest department this spring, as France launched operations against insecurity, illegal immigration and unsanitary housing.
