Reported cases by year, Myanmar

What these figures count: acute watery diarrhoea (AWD), which WHO tracks as a cholera proxy.

YearReported casesShare of worldwide reports
2023 not reported —

2026 (year to date) 258 0.1%

Reporting bounds and case definitions vary; historical baselines are a separate comparison measure. Worldwide share compares this country's reported figure with the sum of all countries reporting cholera to ENCLAI for that year. "Incomplete year" means our sources cover less than ten months of that year, so no full-year figure is shown; "outbreak total to date" is a running total since an outbreak began, not a count for one year.

A record is one dated surveillance publication or one row of an official table; a month with many records is a month with detailed reporting, not necessarily more cases.

About this data

Figures are reported case counts as published by the originating health authorities, compiled by ENCLAI from 444 verified surveillance sources. Myanmar figures reflect the reporting available to ENCLAI; reporting periods and case definitions differ between sources, and a missing report does not establish zero cases. ENCLAI holds cholera records for Myanmar dated from 2016. How we verify and update data: methodology & Trust Center · understanding case counts.
