Lubango health authorities have diagnosed more than 1,000 cases of malaria a week, since the second fortnight of February, when the disease reached its peak, a situation that worries the municipal health department, ANGOP has learnt.
Lubango —
The increase in malaria cases is associated with climatic factors and the level of water in the rivers, with rain contributing to changes in vector consistency, providing the aquatic environment for the mosquito life cycle, increasing humidity conditions and the longevity of the vectors. The health official said the Commune of Hoque is the epicenter, which is why awareness-raising and testing services have been stepped up, with a health fair set up there.
Lubango has a health network of 52 units, including 28 health posts, 22 health centres and two municipal hospitals, one of which is a missionary hospital of the Catholic Church, located in Toco, and the other"Olga Chaves", on the outskirts of the city.
