Haiti continues to suffer from one of the worst cholera epidemics a single country has ever faced.
In 2016/17 we partnered with St Boniface hospital in response to Hurricane Matthew, tackling the increased cholera risks caused by the hurricane. We supported their Cholera Treatment Centre, 55 days of mobile clinics serving 12,000 people, and helped provide the cholera vaccination to 23,271 of the most people at risk.
HHA partnered with MSF, KS and others to initiate a major community prevention scheme that impacted over 360,000 people and helped reduce cholera related mortality in our region from 13% to less than 0.3%.
We also helped found North Haiti’s largest cholera treatment centre, a 250 bed facility that completed its work in 2015.
