Completion of Baseline Health Study Data Collection Conducted Ahead of the Future Construction of the Kikot-Mbebe Dam

From 28 April to 12 May 2025, a team from ISM, comprising around forty members, carried out the collection of epidemiological, nutritional, and social data in the area designated for the construction of the Kikot Dam and in selected control zones. The aim is to assess the prevalence of certain diseases, including vector-borne and non-communicable diseases.

Alongside this epidemiological survey, a nutritional assessment focusing on children was conducted. The third component of the study involves a social survey addressing behaviours that impact health, such as dietary habits, sexual behaviour, and addictions.
