Cholera kits 2020

To  treat 100 cases at different level of care or perform laboratory analysis of 100 samples. 

 

Background

For several years, agencies supporting preparedness and response to cholera outbreaks have supplied medicines and medical devices through the Interagency Diarrhoeal Disease Kits (IDDK).

In an effort to better align the presentation and content of the kits to field needs, the composition of the cholera kits has been reviewed by WHO and its partners in 2015 and again in 2020. The content of all modules have been slightly revised with no changes except for the cholera laboratory check list.

The revised cholera kits 2020 are designed to help prepare for a potential cholera outbreak and to support the first month of the initial response for 100 cases. The overall package consists of six different kits, each divided in several modules.

Cholera kit calculation tool

This tool provides a quick and simple way to calculate and subsequently order the new cholera kits and modules.

The tool is best suited to estimate needs relating to cholera preparedness.

The tool uses pre-defined scenarios based on available population data, pre-defined attack rates as well as the number of health care facilities available. It will help to calculate the number of mandatory essential kits for a cholera response; the number of complementary modules if necessary, including the number of cholera beds as well as estimations on costs for goods and freight from supplier till the port of entry in a particular country.

An introductory section will guide you through the new Cholera Kit Calculation tool.
