EP 1: Zenysis & the Cholera Outbreak in Mozambique (w/ Pablo Sarmiento)
Manage episode 347567471 series 3418230
In March of 2019, a devastating cyclone hit Mozambique. It caused a massive outbreak of cholera (300-400 cases per day), and the WHO was alerted about the situation. Zenysis stepped up and was able to help. They had a case management tool that was able to unify the data of the health workers on the ground and notify the Mozambique ministry of health where the outbreaks were occurring. They were able to coordinate the dispatching of doctors and water treatment workers who chlorinated the contaminated water sources, and thanks to Zenysis' help, Mozambique brought the numbers of new outbreaks down to zero.
