Abstract

The objective of this article is to report the experience of a cholera outbreak causing more than two thousand deaths in 2006 in Angola. I describe my observations and feelings, as well as some of the interventions performed by the team of the organization Médecins du Monde, aimed at contributing to control the outbreak. This report is a real example of how some populations are still vulnerable to easily preventable diseases
