Key Points

• At the Mayotte Hospital Center (CHM), the number of emergency room visits remained stable during week 2025-S08 (February 17–23). Wounds and trauma remained the primary reason for emergency room visits and were slightly down, as were visits for digestive disorders. Conversely, visits for respiratory conditions tended to increase.

• Skin conditions became the leading reason for visits to the SSFMT (Secouristes sans frontières medical team) in 2025-S08, ahead of trauma. As a reminder, this facility took over from ESCRIM on February 4, 2025. It does not have inpatient beds or an operating room.

• In 2025-S08, only one reference medical center (CMR) submitted its activity data, and digestive disorders were the leading reason for consultation.

• Influenza and bronchiolitis outbreaks were still ongoing in 2025-S08, with an increasing positivity rate for RSV and a stable rate for influenza viruses.

• The rate of stool samples testing positive for at least one enteric pathogen was 66% in 2025-S08, down from the previous week (79% in 2025-S07) but still at a high level; the slowdown in the circulation of rotavirus A was confirmed in 2025-S08.

• In sentinel pharmacies, a relative stability in the percentage of sales of anti-diarrheal medications and oral rehydration solutions (ORS) was recorded in 2025-S08; however, this proportion remained at a high level compared to previous years.

• In 2025-S08, more than 70% of households surveyed during community-based surveillance (CBS) outreach visits reported having more difficulty obtaining food than before Cyclone Chido struck.
