Gai Kok told journalists in Juba. The outbreak was declared in South Sudan
on July 22, 2016. Kok said the ministry documented 20,438 cases with 436
deaths in 26 counties during the 18 months of outbursts.He said the last
confirmed cholera case was reported in al Sabah hospital, Juba, in December
2017. “As we declare the end of cholera outbreak, the public is
encouraged to continue observing the preventive measures to avoid cholera
and other diarrheal diseases,” said Kok. He said the outbreak was the
longest and largest cholera epidemic ever recorded in terms of scale and
spread in the country. The minister said the outbreak was successfully
