Hepatitis E has killed at least 104 Ugandans – the majority of them women – since an outbreak of the disease was first noted about a year ago.
An assessment conducted by the Uganda Red Cross in the affected area revealed a most alarming situation. For a population of about 28,045 the latrine coverage was as low as 3.7 per cent and only 23 boreholes were functional.
In response to this situation, the Uganda Red Cross has conduct intensive hygiene campaigns to educate communities about the epidemic and how to avoid it.
