MEDICAL authorities say there is no end in sight to the cholera epidemic afflicting Zimbabwe, with 26 more deaths reported in the past week. A spokesperson for the health ministry said over the same period a further 266 cases were reported. The disease has claimed 139 lives since the first case was confirmed six weeks ago. So far, 1458 cases have been reported. Health services in Zimbabwe have crumbled in the last 18 months, following the fall of the currency on world markets, with state funding for the health ministry all but drying up.
