‘Cholera is an indicator of poor hygiene in an area’

New Indian Express  

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Cholera is a bacterial infection caused by vibrio cholerae, primarily affecting the small intestine. Prevention strategies include ensuring access to safe drinking water, improving sanitation practices, promoting hygiene such as washing hands and administering oral cholera vaccines in high-risk areas. Cholera remains a pressing public health concern, especially in regions lacking adequate sanitation infrastructure where overcrowded living conditions and poor hygiene exacerbate transmission. Dr Purushothaman Kuzhikkathukandiyil, a professor of paediatrics at MES Medical College, Malappuram, said, "Cholera serves as an indicator of poor hygiene conditions in an area. According to the US Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, cholera affects 1.3 to 4 million people annually worldwide, with 21,000 to 143,000 deaths attributed to it.
