Economic impact of cholera in households in rural southern Malawi: a prospective study by Florian Marks, Wilm Quentin, Vittal Mogasale, Amber Hsiao, Enusa Ramani, Hye-Jin Seo, GiDeok Pak, Dan Vuntade, Maurice M’bang’ombe, Bagrey Ngwira

“…The COI per patient was US$14.34 (in 2020), more than half of which was from direct non-medical costs from food, water, and transportation to the health centre.Conclusion For the majority of Malawians who struggle to subsist on less than US$2 a day, the COI of cholera represents a significant cost burden to families. While cholera treatment is provided for free in government-run health centres, additional investments in cholera control and prevention at the community level and financial support beyond direct medical costs may be necessary to alleviate the economic burden of cholera on households in southern Malawi.…”
