The Ministry of Health on May 3 confirmed an outbreak of waterborne diseases especially Cholera and diarrhoea amid heavy rains.
In a statement, Public Health PS Mary Muthoni said the first case was reported in Tana River.
"Despite our successful control efforts, the ongoing heavy rains and flooding have led to a confirmed case of cholera reported on April 26," she said.
Muthoni said the single case is significant, as it amounted to an outbreak.
"Waterborne diseases such as Cholera are indeed severe, but they are also preventable. It is crucial to understand that early detection and prompt medical attention can make a significant difference, potentially saving lives," she said.
