NEXT Op-Ed on cholera outbreak.

I share the author's despair at the apathetic reaction to a needless, totally avoidable tragedy.

I was still a child when I first began to wonder why recurrent, yearly meningitis outbreaks seemed to catch us unprepared year after year. Each year it was as if we did not know it was coming, as if we were caught unawares by something that happened every damn year.

The op-ed essay was written by Chikwe Ihekweazu.
