VOICED: Iraq faces typhoid fever

In Baghdad, nurses are actively vaccinating against typhoid fever, a disease prevalent in poorer regions. The campaign targets individuals aged 15 to 45, offering a vaccine that provides a year of protection. Efforts include educating on hygiene, as typhoid spreads through contaminated water. Rising cases are attributed to water scarcity, poor water treatment, and climate factors. Despite these efforts, security issues in Iraq pose challenges to reaching all areas.
