Preparación y respuesta a la emergencia del COVID-19
The Cholera Q&A Fact Sheet provides essential information about cholera, including its causes, symptoms, treatment, and prevention. Cholera is an acute diarrheal disease caused by Vibrio cholerae, which spreads through contaminated water and food. It leads to rapid dehydration and can be fatal if un...treated. Symptoms range from mild diarrhea to severe dehydration, shock, and death.
Treatment primarily involves Oral Rehydration Therapy (ORT) to replace lost fluids, and in severe cases, intravenous fluids. Antibiotics are generally not recommended for mass treatment. Prevention focuses on safe drinking water, sanitation, hand hygiene, and proper food handling.
The document also discusses cholera vaccination, with three WHO-approved oral vaccines available. However, vaccines should be used alongside other control measures. The Global Task Force on Cholera Control (GTFCC) aims to eliminate cholera transmission in 20 countries by 2030 through improved sanitation, vaccination, and rapid outbreak response.

Presentations and agenda of the meeting held to update industry on the COVAX Facility and Gavi’s support for cold chain equipment (CCE) for COVID-19 vaccines.
The Water and Sanitation for Health Facility Improvement Tool (WASH FIT) presents a framework and acts as a guide to support multisectoral action to improve water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) in health care. Central to the WASH FIT methodology is training and incremental improvements.
Implementat...ion of WASH FIT requires six preparatory steps at the national level, one of which is conducting national sensitization and training of trainers, followed by facility-level training. At the facility level, step 1 (of five) involves establishing and training a WASH FIT team.
The WASH FIT methodology is outlined in WASH FIT: A practical guide for improving quality of care through water, sanitation and hygiene in health care facilities. Second edition. (the WASH FIT guide), which includes a set of templates designed to help users with each phase of the improvement cycle.

Note technique. Les centres de traitement de choléra fournissent des soins hospitaliers aux patients atteints de choléra
pendant les épidémies. Une prise en charge de qualité et l’isolement des patients atteints du choléra sont
essentiels pour prévenir les décès et aider à lutter con...tre la propagation de la maladie. Traditionnellement,
ces structures sont appelées centres de traitement du choléra (CTC) et unités de traitement du choléra (UTC).
Les CTC sont généralement de grandes structures mises en place au niveau central (zones urbaines, par
exemple), tandis que les UTC sont des structures plus petites, installées en périphérie (zones périurbaines ou
rurales, par exemple). Les CTC/UTC peuvent être mis en place en tant que structures indépendantes dans
des tentes ou à l’intérieur de bâtiments existants ou dans des unités sanitaires. Quelle que soit la structure,
les principes décrits dans ce document doivent être respectés.

Fully functioning water, sanitation, hygiene (WASH) and health care waste management services are a critical aspect of infection prevention and control (IPC) practices, and ensuring patient safety and quality of care. Such services are also essential for creating an environment that supports the dig...nity and human rights of all care seekers, especially mothers, newborns, children and care providers.
WASH and waste services are also critical for preventing and effectively responding to disease outbreaks. The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed gaps in these basic services (Box 1). These gaps threaten the safety of patients and caregivers, and have environmental consequences, especially as a result of large increases in plastic health care waste. In short, WASH is a critical foundation for improving quality across the health system (1).
Many facilities lack plans and budgets for WASH, which has impacts on IPC. This lack of services, and of systems to improve them, compromises the ability to provide safe and quality care, and places health care providers and those seeking care at substantial risk of infection and loss of dignity. Unhygienic health care facilities without drinking water or functional toilets are also a disincentive to seeking care and undermine staff morale – these factors can have a critical impact on controlling infectious disease outbreaks.
Climate change and its impacts on WASH and health services, gender-specific needs, and equity in service provision and management all require rigorous attention, adaptable tools and regular monitoring.

WASH in schools during a cholera response is important due to the strong correlation between WASH and IPC. Not only can it impact the health and well-being of students and staff but also facilitate the potential spread of the disease via the congregation of children and adults from multiple househol...ds. Hygiene can often be more difficult to control with young children and therefore efforts to put in place systems to encourage good practices are essential.
To prevent the spread of cholera in schools, it is important to have clean and safe water sources, proper sanitation facilities, and good hygiene practices in place. This includes providing clean drinking water, hand-washing stations with soap, and education on hygiene and sanitation practices and implement Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) including dissemination of Information, Education and Communication materials (IEC).
