Mamoudzou: France's health chief said Thursday that the response to the cholera epidemic on the country's Indian Ocean island of Mayotte has been "adequate" -- a day after its first cholera-related death.
On a long-awaited visit to the island, French Health Minister Frederic Valletoux spoke with teams from the ARS health authority who are responsible for containing outbreaks as soon as a case is suspected.
"In the Comoros, the epidemic started a month and a half earlier, but today there are thousands of cases and almost 100 deaths," Valletoux said.
"We can see that the response in Mayotte is adequate," the minister added during a visit to the Kirson district of Koungou -- where at least 50 cases of cholera have been reported to date.
On Wednesday, the disease claimed its first life on the island when a three-year-old girl from the commune of Koungou died.
