Today more than ever, the whole world is faced with a number of crises, natural disasters, plagues and other ills, including pandemic, endemic and epidemic diseases. The frequency and severity of these diseases vary depending on whether the country is in the North or the South. Despite the efforts of all concerned, these diseases continue to claim victims at global, national and local levels. As we all know, cholera is a disease that is rife throughout the world, appearing in the form of epidemics. In some parts of the world, the disease has become endemic. Our Health Zone, located in the Territory of Uvira, Province of South Kivu, in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo, is not spared from this disease, which is both endemic and epidemic. This work constitutes a reference document likely to provide information about cholera in the Uvira Health Zone to anyone who feels ready to make a contribution, however small, to the fight against this endemic and epidemic disease.
