Global Overview of Cholera Cases
In the midst of the glitz and glamour of the Hollywood film industry, the 2023 Academy Awards are set to take place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California on March 12, 2023. Hosted for the third time by Jimmy Kimmel, the ceremony will be produced by Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner. The event will be broadcast live on ABC.
Yet, while the world's attention turns to the red carpet and the nominees, there's a stark contrast with the reality faced by millions around the globe. In 2024 and 2025, the largest number of cholera cases were reported primarily in parts of Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, with outbreaks in 60 countries worldwide.
Cholera, a preventable and treatable disease, remains a significant public health concern. It primarily affects individuals in regions without access to basic necessities such as safe water, sanitation, and hygiene. The disease claims tens of thousands of lives every year, disproportionately impacting those living in poverty.
Areas with poor health and sanitation conditions are particularly vulnerable. In Africa and the Middle East, ongoing outbreaks have been reported in Sudan and other vulnerable regions. Efforts to improve water, sanitation, and hygiene can help reduce the incidence of cholera, but these regions often lack the resources and infrastructure necessary to implement such changes.
As the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences prepares to announce the nominees for the Best Picture category on February 8, 2023, the deadline for voting by Academy members is set for February 27, 2023. The official list of nominees will be available on the Academy's official website.
While we celebrate the achievements in the film industry, let us also remember those less fortunate and take steps to help reduce the global burden of preventable diseases like cholera. By advocating for improved access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene, we can make a difference in the lives of millions.
