After decades of progress against cholera, cases are increasing even in countries in Southeast Asia that had not seen the disease in years.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) external situation report #26, published on May 22, 2025, Bangladesh, India, Myanmar, Nepal, and Thailand reported additional cholera cases in April 2025.
From January to late April 2025, 1,868 cholera / AWD cases were reported across five countries in the Southeast Asia Region. The highest number of cases was reported from India (11,730), Myanmar (8,869), Bangladesh (655), Nepal (445), and Thailand (16).
Furthermore, a total of 58 cholera-related deaths were reported in India.
The WHO says cholera is a vaccine-preventable disease.
However, as of May 19, 2025, the global Oral Cholera Vaccine (OCV) stockpile stands at 3.6 million doses, below the minimum emergency threshold of five million.
OCVs are approved and available at travel clinics and pharmacies in the United States.
