Le 26 juin 2026, le ministre de la Sant\u00e9 et de la Population, le Dr Pierre Somse, annon\u00e7ait la confirmation officielle d’une \u00e9pid\u00e9mie de chol\u00e9ra dans les districts sanitaires de Bimbo et de Mba\u00efki, au sud-ouest de Bangui. Le bilan initial faisait \u00e9tat de 197 cas recens\u00e9s et de 24 d\u00e9c\u00e8s. \u00ab Le minist\u00e8re de la Sant\u00e9 et de la Population, avec l’appui de l’Institut Pasteur de Bangui, vient de confirmer ce jour une \u00e9pid\u00e9mie de chol\u00e9ra \u00bb, avait-il d\u00e9clar\u00e9 lors d’une conf\u00e9rence de presse, pr\u00e9cisant que des mesures barri\u00e8res avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 mises en place dans les localit\u00e9s concern\u00e9es.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Il s’agit de la cinqui\u00e8me \u00e9pid\u00e9mie de chol\u00e9ra officiellement d\u00e9clar\u00e9e dans le pays ; la pr\u00e9c\u00e9dente, en 2016, avait fait 23 morts pour 522 cas recens\u00e9s. Le chol\u00e9ra, maladie li\u00e9e \u00e0 l’eau et aux aliments contamin\u00e9s, trouve un terrain favorable dans un pays o\u00f9 l’acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l’eau potable et \u00e0 l’assainissement reste tr\u00e8s in\u00e9gal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Des r\u00e9sultats encourageants, sous conditions<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Une semaine apr\u00e8s la d\u00e9claration de l’\u00e9pid\u00e9mie, les autorit\u00e9s sanitaires affichaient un optimisme prudent. \u00ab Depuis la d\u00e9claration de l’\u00e9pid\u00e9mie, aucun nouveau d\u00e9c\u00e8s n’a \u00e9t\u00e9 enregistr\u00e9. C’est un signal encourageant, mais la situation exige que nous maintenions tous les efforts \u00bb, indiquait le 6 juillet le Dr Germain Piamale, responsable de la coordination de la riposte, cit\u00e9 par le Journal de Bangui. Prise en charge rapide des patients, surveillance \u00e9pid\u00e9miologique renforc\u00e9e, distribution de kits d’hygi\u00e8ne et sensibilisation des populations figuraient parmi les mesures d\u00e9ploy\u00e9es avec l’appui des partenaires techniques et humanitaires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Les bilans les plus r\u00e9cents montrent toutefois que la maladie continue de circuler : \u00e0 la mi-juillet, le nombre de cas confirm\u00e9s dans les zones touch\u00e9es avait sensiblement augment\u00e9 par rapport au bilan initial de fin juin, selon des informations rapport\u00e9es localement. Les autorit\u00e9s sanitaires continuent d’appeler la population \u00e0 respecter strictement les r\u00e8gles d’hygi\u00e8ne de base, en particulier le lavage des mains et la consommation d’eau potable, et \u00e0 consulter rapidement en cas de diarrh\u00e9e aigu\u00eb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
