We must finish the job.” said MEDSF International President Dr. Joanne Liu. “Going from hundreds of cases to 30 per week took considerable time and massive resources, yet getting from 30 to zero requires the most meticulous, difficult work of all.” Fri, 17 Jul 2015 09:47:30 +0000 c7973c58-930d-43cd-b608-e5f47fa6e63f https://www.medsf.org/over-10000-affected-cholera-guinea-bissau Since May this year, a cholera outbreak has devastated Guinea Bissau and has already caused the deaths of 190 patients and more than 10,000 people have been affected by the outbreak.

But the shipment was diverted back to Europe by profiteering wholesalers as it arrived at the African airports or even earlier. The latest WHO figures show that only 27,000 have got access to the vital medicines through the two-year-old UN deal called Accelerated Access.
