Cholera, XIX. As the deadliest disease of the century, causing great human losses almost everywhere in the world, it has also been very effective in the Ottoman lands since the years when the first pandemic continued. This disease was seen in almost the entire Ottoman geography, especially in Istanbul, during the 1892-1895 epidemic.
Cholera, which was effective in Anatolia in 1893 and 1894, also caused two epidemics in Istanbul in 1893-1894 and 1895.

On the other hand, the progress made in the field of preventive health measures was almost groundbreaking in the Ottoman Empire.
