Committing to reduce cholera deaths by 90% by 2030

Cholera kills an estimated 95000 people and affects 2.9 million more every year. Urgent action is needed to protect communities, prevent transmission and control outbreaks. A new strategy to reduce deaths from cholera by 90% by 2030 will be launched tomorrow by the Global Task Force on Cholera Control (GTFCC), a diverse network that supports countries affected by the disease.
