Cholera fears rise as Yangon diarrhoea cases surge amid floods and conflict; YGH remains Yangon’s major public hospital serving as a frontline response hub.
Yangon hospitals have admitted 182 patients with diarrhoea in four days, with 93 testing positive for pathogens. Officials say cases are concentrated in Chinatown and are linked to street vendors and contaminated water; authorities have temporarily closed three high-risk venues. The cases have prompted warnings amid ongoing monsoon floods.
