The inspections covered Union de Chagoua, Notre-Dame des Apôtres and Sultan Kasser hospitals. Abderahim examined suspected-case investigation forms, checked rapid-test availability and discussed working conditions with staff facing an influx of patients. He asked facilities to maintain vigilance and strengthen public information on prevention and warning signs.
The preceding situation report, covering 22–26 October, recorded 4,600 suspected cases, 353 confirmed cases and 14 deaths across six provinces. Those are cumulative figures for that earlier reporting period, not additional cases announced during Sunday’s inspections. N’Djamena and Wadi Fira were among the worst-affected areas.
The minister urged people with suspected dengue to seek care rather than take medicines without medical advice.
