What is Cholera?

Cholera is a waterborne disease caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. It spreads through contaminated food and water, leading to symptoms such as:

• Severe watery diarrhoea
• Dehydration
• Fatigue
• Nausea and vomiting

Without treatment, cholera can be life-threatening, especially in areas with poor sanitation.
