Lessons Learned during Public Health Response to Cholera Epidemic in Haiti and the Dominican Republic



Lessons Learned during Public Health Response to Cholera Epidemic in Haiti and the Dominican Republic


Poster’s comments:
1)      Don’t forget typhoid, too.
2)      None of this is rocket science.
3)      Imposing basic and common sense public health measures is to our human advantage. Doing it sooner is best, but anytime will do in the long run. That’s one reason we have waste water treatment plants in the new world USA.
4)      Imposing this often takes leadership and management, too.
5)      None of this is exotic. It can be as simple as what to do with human waste on Mount Everest expeditions (a lot annually), or other simpler things like best disposing of our human waste after a natural disaster.
6)      Preventive medicine is so much easier to practice than corrective medicine, too. Said another way, don’t get sick if you can avoid it.
7)      Most expect to die in the end. It is a quality of life issue in the interim to so many.
