iciHaiti - PAHO : Cholera cases are probably much higher than reported figures 13/10/2022 08:53:16 As of October 10, the Ministry of Public Health and Population (MSPP) has confirmed 32 cases, 18 deaths, 266 suspected cases and 215 hospitalized cases in the metropolitan area. "Cholera arrived in a context of serious social and political unrest," Dr. Etienne stressed, "which complicates efforts to provide humanitarian aid and respond to the epidemic," adding that cases are likely to be high outnumbered by reported figures, as escalating street violence and criminal activity limits access to disease-affected areas... PAHO is supporting the Haitian authorities and international partners in setting up cholera treatment centers. The Organization has donated two tons of medical supplies and is helping the MSPP in its surveillance and case management efforts "We are also ready to help the government to quickly access vaccine supplies" concluded the Director of the OPS.
