摘要:The objective of this article is to report the experience of a cholera outbreak causing more than two thousand deaths in 2006 in Angola. I describe my observations and feelings, as well as some of the interventions performed by the team of the organization Médecins du Monde, aimed at contributing to control the outbreak.
