Swine flu is spreading throughout various regions of Madagascar, three months after the discovery of the first case. The struggle against the pandemic is being stepped up

More than 750 swine flu cases in the Great Isle

Two millions of vaccine doses have been offered by the WHO to face up to the H1N1 flu outbreak, as fresh reinforcements for the Great Isle’s struggle against the pandemic. Healthcare authorities have, so far, been concentrating their efforts on the treatment of infected people  

 

770 established cases of A flu, and three reported fatalities, have been registered to that day. The ministry for Health was, however, keen on specifying that the fatalities in question were individuals significantly dented by previous health problems 

 

Nine of Madagascar’s hundred districts are currently affected by the A flu. The capital city has the record number of registered cases. Infections used, shortly earlier, to concern people having completed travels abroad; now it is history. The virus actually has developed permanent bases on home territory.   

 

In a small rural village, 80 km to the south of the capital city, tenths of cases have been reported. Even the local school had to close its doors, since few pupils happened to have been infected by the sickness.
