MSF expanded the treatment capacity in several facilities, for example, increasing the number of beds in Hombo cholera treatment centre from 23 to 47 beds, and in Domoni treatment centre, from eight to 27 beds.

In addition, we collaborated with UNICEF and the Comoros Red Crescent, in coordination with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, to decentralise care by establishing one mobile and six fixed oral rehydration points on Anjouan, and improve patient stabilisation and referral systems.

We also helped strengthen patient care and improve the organisation of health facilities. We supported the Ministry of Health by conducting vaccination campaigns with the oral cholera vaccine on both islands.

By mid-July, as cholera cases declined, the rehydration points were reintegrated into health centres. We concluded our activities that month, after making a final donation of medical supplies and training staff to maintain cholera response capacity.
