Cholera spreads to Northern Haiti : 3 new cases of cholera
in 2 towns in the North , Limbe & Plaisance.
Again , precaution or prevention against cholera.
1 ) Repeated soaping and Hands washing.
2 )Have plenty of IV Fluids available for patients to be admitted to the Hospital
3) Antibiotics : Tetracycline , Bactrim ,Chloramphenicol etc
4) Boiling water to be used or drunk .
5) Washing vegetables and food with chlorinated water before usage.
6) Education of the population in our catchment area and
Hospital patients & personnel. Instruction is given to buy
enough quantity of IV Fluid & medicines to respond to this
medical crisis situation.
All CBP Dorms & Hotel cooks as guard personnel have already received training as how to behave toward this particular situation.
Just to keep everyone aware.
