Since May 10, cholera has reappeared in Baptiste, commune of the Central Plateau. Overwhelmed by the situation, officials of the commune health center asking for help to treat victims "The situation is becoming increasingly critical. We receive daily 3-5 people infected with cholera [...] We operate with the means at hand. We are obliged to refer some cases to Bellad?re [...] we do not have logistics," said Walter Elism?, administrator of the Commune health center who lamented also the insufficient staff to treat the sick, lack of drugs and equipment, including adapted beds and the cohabitation of cholera patients with other patients.

Mr. Elism? indicated that several localities are affected by the cholera epidemic, especially Louim?, Dyebabann, Cit? choublak, Maguayav, Aleyan, etc. According to him, we must quickly put in place a team that will make awareness and decontamination at the nearby localities to curb the spread of the epidemic...

Reuters | about 6 hours ago

LONDON - The World Health Organisation (WHO) said on Tuesday that it was sending 1 million doses of cholera vaccine to Haiti, where cases of the killer disease have climbed in the wake of Hurricane Matthew.

"The top priority for those people affected by the hurricane is to give them access to clean water. That is the only way we can control cholera," Dominique Legros, WHO cholera expert, told a news briefing before travelling to the Caribbean country.

Some 150 suspected cholera cases have been reported in Grande'Anse department and 50 in South department, he said. "It is more than usual; I know it is a sharp increase compared to usual figures."...
 
Red alert for cholera after the passage of Matthew on the South and the Grand'Anse
South Health Department: 117 cholera cases, including 17 deaths;
health department of Grand'Anse: 166 cases, including 3 deaths.
These data show that the water contamination due to
Hurricane Matthew, were recorded in the
two geographic departments until Sunday 9
October 2016, according to a report presented by Dr. Donald Francis,
national coordinator of the fight against the cholera MSPP,
at a press briefing held this Monday, October 10, 2016,
Local MSPP. No cases have been recorded in the
Nippes and Southeast for now
again according to Dr. Donald Fran?ois.

To respond to emergencies, a helicopter was sent to the South Department, Monday
October 10, 2016, to provide relief inputs. Doctors, and other experts
Health personnel were also sent to the region to support cases
of infected persons.

For Dr. Jocelyne Pierre-Louis, Director at the Directorate
Health Promotion and Protection of the Environment
MSPP, three (3) things are unavoidable in this
and special terrible situation for the people
the great South: 1. Wash hands with treated water
before consumption, 2. Treating drinking water,
3. Use latrines. It is true that all structures
are destroyed by the cyclone Matthew, but the population
must redouble its efforts to cut the chain
transmission, advised Dr. Pierre-Louis.
