Geospatial analysis of cholera outbreak in Lusaka, Zambia, between 2023 and 2024
The findings underscore the significance of environmental factors in cholera transmission, particularly in unplanned residential areas with inadequate access to WASH facilities which persist in the area. Improving WASH infrastructure and implementing tailored public health strategies, particularly for high-risk areas (e.g., unplanned residential areas), are crucial for mitigating cholera outbreaks in Lusaka District.
