FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO SPREAD
Mode of Transmission- Mainly faecal-oral route.
1.Through Contaminated water
2.Unwashed fruit and Vegetables
3.Lack of Hand washing
4.Uncooked food

OTHERS-1.Migration of possibly infected people from affected
countries and areas.
2.Easy travel within the country makes it possible forthe efficient movement of possibly infected people

CHOLERA AS EPIDEMICWhen does Cholera Become Epidemic?
After heavy period of rainfall
When water temperature is rise
When normal incidences increases
When proper hygienic practices not followed

How long does it take?
1.Incubation period- 2hours to 5 days
2.Infection 7 to 14 days but most of people do not
become ill or show any symptoms
3.Only about 10-20% of infected people show moderate
and severe symptoms
4.Blood group O having highest risk-
According toWHO.

Howisit Prevented?1.Blocking routes of transmission water disinfection
(source and /or household), hand washing, sanitation,
good food hygiene and well-cooked

y2.Cholera vibrio doesnt like acid
environment (block with acidic watere.g.. With citrus juice, healthy stomachacid levels, acid food)

What ProportionWill Die?1.Most people who die, do so within the first day of symptoms
appearing
2.Without any treatment about 50%
of people survive
3.With adequate re-hydration less than 2% will die
4,With good surveillance, rapid establishment ofre-hydration, and anti-biotic for worst cases, almost alldeaths can be avoided

PREPAREDNESS AND CONTROLCHOLERA EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND CONTROL
1.CO-ORDINATION
2.STOCK AND LOGISTICS
3.COMMUNICATION
4.NATIONAL CAPACITIES
5.RESOURCES MOBILIZATION

CHALLENGES
General--Preparedness for all potential scenarios.
-Assimilation of knowledge amongst
medical personnel.
- Maintenance of capabilities over time.
-Assuring staff protection while saving livesof contaminated casualties
-Stockpiles of vital equipment.

CHALLENGES-
WATER AND SANITATIONS
1.Contaminated Water Sources include:
-River water, streams, bore holes,
wells etc. with faecal Contamination
through sewerage plant.
-Contaminated water containersdue to improper handling and
water storage.

2.Formal Water Supply problems
-Problems of chlorination.
-Interrupted water supplies.
-Sub-optimal maintenance of the system.
-Over-stretched water system.
-Poor water handling in households.
-Raw water supply to communities through taps.
3. Poor sanitation coverage-

CHALLENGES- HEALTH SYSTEM
1.Regional Cross-border cholera epidemic out of control .
2.Institutions challenged with pre-existing burden of disease.
3.Infrastructure challenges insufficient beds.
4.Insufficient Health Promotion and IEC material.
5.Insufficient medical supplies in some provinces.
6.Inadequate human resources national, provincial and institutions.

KEY MESSAGES1.Bad water is one source of cholera (disinfect source or
stored water) but others, especially contaminated food(clean and cook well)
2.Lack of hand washing (essential times and methods forhand washing) should also be highlighted
3.Rapid transfer to clinics or use of ORT corners speeds uptreatment and reduces cross infection.
4.Re-hydration as early as possible saves the most lives- waterquality in OR is of little importance
5.Good surveillance systems can identify causes and reduceinfection rates

RECOMMENDATION-1.Continued co-ordinationwith partners and mobilization
of resources.
2.Strengthen health promotionand IEC support.
3.Strengthen capacity toprovide technical support.

CONCLUSIONS-1.Fundamental preparedness and control measures are
crucial to manage the epidemics.
2.Co-ordination of local and concern authority isneeded.
3.Control and preventive measures requires resourcemobilization and right decision making.
