Mozambique, a country in southeastern Africa, has faced significant health challenges, notably the spread of infectious diseases such as cholera and malaria. Cholera, caused by the bacterium
Vibrio cholerae
, can lead to severe dehydration and, if untreated, can be fatal. The disease often spreads through contaminated water and poor sanitation, which are prevalent issues in many parts of Mozambique. Malaria, transmitted by mosquitoes, is another critical infectious threat, affecting millions annually and particularly impacting vulnerable populations in rural areas. Both diseases highlight the importance of robust public health infrastructure, access to clean water, and effective vector control measures to mitigate their impact in Mozambique.
