On May 2, 2025, the Center for Women Health and Development (CWHD), in collaboration with a team of dedicated healthcare professionals, conducted a critical emergency response mission to Gogrial West County, Warrap State, following a cholera outbreak in the region. Operating under the theme โUnited for Cholera-Free Gogrialโ, this initiative aimed to support ongoing public health efforts to control and eliminate the outbreak.

In response to the pressing need for medical support, CWHD partnered with a skilled team of healthcare professionals to deliver vital medical supplies to Gogrial Primary Health Care Centre (PHCC). These supplies are intended to enhance cholera case management, reduce transmission, and strengthen the local health system's capacity to respond effectively.
The intervention was a collaborative effort, uniting public health actors around a shared goal: to protect lives and prevent the further spread of cholera in Gogrial West and surrounding areas.
Delivery and Stakeholder Engagement
CWHD and its health partners delivered essential medical commodities including:
โข Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS)
โข IV fluids
โข IV canulars
โข Examination loves
The supplies were officially received in a joint event that included key county stakeholders:
โข Representatives from the Office of the County Commissioner
โข Ministry of Health (MOH) officials
โข County Health Department (CHD) officers
โข Gogrial PHCC in-charge
โข Cholera response focal person
โข Health care workers serving on the frontlines
Dr. Wol, the County Cholera Focal Person, extended his deep appreciation for the support provided by both CWHD and the healthcare professionals' team. He noted that although the number of cholera cases has started to subside, the support remains crucial in strengthening preparedness and response efforts.
Planned Distribution of Supplies
Dr. Wol also announced that the received supplies would not only benefit Gogrial PHCC but would be systematically disseminated to other cholera treatment centers (CTCs) within the county. This equitable distribution will ensure that all affected areas are better equipped to handle cases and continue the fight against the disease.
