ZAMBIA: Bishops in Zambia Stand in Solidarity Amidst Escalating Cholera Crisis
By Sandra Kunda
Members of the Zambia Conference of Catholic Bishops (ZCCB) have expressed solidarity with the people of Zambia given the persisting Cholera situation in the country.
In their message of solidarity to the people of Zambia, the Catholic Bishops have noted that the escalation in the number of Cholera cases and deaths has continued to affect the nation as evidenced by the disruption of the normal flow of life, business, including the postponement of reopening of schools.
The Bishops have extended solidarity to those tending to the sick in various treatment centers as they extend heartfelt condolences to those who have lost loved ones to the pandemic.
While acknowledging the concerted efforts and interventions by the government and various stakeholders, ZCCB has emphasized the importance of adhering to preventive measures and guidelines provided by the Ministry of Health while highlighting the collective responsibility of everyone in winning the fight against cholera.
“The desirable ultimate goal is obviously to find permanent solutions that prevent the recurrence of this outbreak,” states ZCCB.
The Conference specifically recognizes and appreciates the dedication of frontline medical personnel, volunteers, and other stakeholders who have responded to the unfortunate situation.
ZCCB has since encouraged a united front against cholera, emphasizing the need for a collective effort to achieve a lasting solution to prevent future outbreaks.
