Hopley Man Dies From Typhoid
Published: 2016 February 19 06:32:47 (4738 Views)
One person died of typhoid in Hopley as water shortages continue to affect parts of the city, Harare City Health director Dr Prosper Chonzi, confirmed yesterday.
Dr Chonzi said 23 cases of typhoid out of 245 suspected cases across western suburbs such as Glen Norah, Hopley, Kuwadzana and Budiriro were confirmed.
Dr Chonzi blamed the increase on water shortages and poor sanitation in residential areas.
He said council clinics would continue offering free medication for all typhoid related cases.
Dr Chonzi said although there were no cases reported from Mukuvisi and Manyame, the areas are still feared to be some of the typhoid breeding areas.
