Health Ministry Reports Diphtheria Outbreaks in Souss-Massa
The Ministry of Health announced the detection of two limited foci of diphtheria in the districts of Agadir-Ida Ou Tanane and the prefecture of Srouka Aït Baha in the Souss-Massa region. Two deaths have been recorded, along with nine other cases under investigation. The affected children did not receive complete vaccination or did not receive the recommended doses, prompting the activation of the epidemic response protocol, as well as case investigations and preventive vaccination campaigns. Diphtheria, a bacterial infection transmitted via respiratory droplets, poses a health threat due to declining vaccination coverage and the spread of rumors. The ministry emphasizes the importance of reviewing health records and visiting health centers if symptoms appear.
