Measles Outbreak – Over 50 Health Districts Affected in the Country

[Cameroon Tribune] Health officials in the country say a measles outbreak is rapidly spreading across the country. Already, some 52 health districts in all the ten regions in the country are affected with deaths registered because of the gravity of the illness, especially when it occurs in an area where children are suffering from malnutrition. Even though measles had almost been eradicated in the last two decades in Cameroon, the disease has resurfaced in some health districts in the past few years.
