After the Far North region, the outbreak of cholera has been reported in the North region of Cameroon.
Medical sources have indicated that about thirty-one cases have already been reported.

Of the thirty-one, three persons are dead. The Minister of Public Health says the epidemic is under control, there is therefore no great cause for concern. He explained that the North Region is close to the Far North region and there is therefore no surprise that the epidemic spreads. The Minister of Communication on his part briefed the press on a sensitisation campaign currently carried in the affected regions.

The Prime Minister and Head of Government, Philemon Yang has received in audience, the new Central African Regional Director of the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM), Diana L.
