Kuwait Recorded 5 Cases Of Cholera
Assistant Undersecretary for Public Health Affairs at Ministry of Health Dr Majdah Al-Qattan revealed that Kuwait recorded five cases of cholera in people who came from Iraq and they have been treated.
On the sidelines of the inaugural ceremony of the Scientific Conference on Latest Surgeries for Breast and Kidney Cancers, Dr Al-Qattan affirmed that the precautionary measures taken so far for preventing the spread of cholera in the country are being closely monitored to complement the previous steps.
She said it was decided during that meeting of the GCC Epidemic Committee last month that the GCC member states must take proactive steps to prevent incursion and spread of cholera,
indicating that this is the reason why the Customs officers have been screening travelers from Iraq and other affected countries.
Dr Al-Qattan revealed that the import of food items from these countries has also been banned till further notice. She stressed the ministry’s keenness to bring new vaccines for the disease and take all necessary steps in that regard, stating that the Higher Committee on Vaccination follows certain procedures with the concerned companies and storage facilities for approving the import of new vaccines.
