| Comments: | Since the beginning of the cholera outbreak in February 2025, Kenya has faced a cholera outbreak now affecting the Coastal, Lower Eastern, and Western regions. As of 13 May, 244 cases and 11 deaths have been reported, with a 4.5% case fatality rate. All affected
counties (Migori, Kisumu, Nairobi, and Kwale) are also experiencing flooding, which has damaged sanitation infrastructure and contributed to the spread of the disease. The index cholera case was reported on 12 February 2025 in Sakuri B Village, Kuria East, Migori
County, after six individuals presented with acute watery diarrhea. KRCS and local health authorities launched a joint response using available resources.
