An ancient disease makes yet another comeback

Over the past three years, cases have more than doubled, with over 230,000 cases and nearly 5,000 deaths so far this year on the continent. Those cases are spread across 23 countries, up from 15 affected countries in 2022, according to Africa CDC. It's a disease that is easily treatable yet deadly. It can kill someone in a matter of hours if good medical care is not provided promptly.
