Angola takes measures to improve access to safe water and curb cholera.
Since 7 January 2025, Angola has been responding to a cholera outbreak, with around 11 500 cases and almost 440 deaths reported as of 9 April 2025. In response, health authorities, with support from World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), have embarked on a mission to map and treat the country’s main water access points. The aim is to identify sources of contamination, guarantee access to treated water and stop the spread of cholera.
