Diakonia partner of disaster relief is in the fight against cholera in education

With wide eyes followed the boy what happened. The seven-year-old Noel Sander lies on a couch in the tent quarantine for cholera patients in the clinic of the Haitian organization Osapo. He is afraid. The nurse attaches importance to the cannula for the infusion solution. Hardly stand on his legs, could the seven year old when his father brought him to the hospital about 80 miles north of Osapo the capital Port-au-Prince. Aus Haiti berichtet Rainer Lang The partner of the Diakonia disaster relief has since the outbreak of the epidemic in Haiti more than 850 infected people treated. From Haiti reported Rainer Lang

Noel and his father were lucky. They had to go an hour, others six or seven hours now. This is common in rural areas in Haiti, because there are no clinics. "Therefore, many infected people die on the road," says the doctor Gardy Jean Marius von Osapo. Here, the treatment of cholera patients, he said, in simple terms and in a short time can be achieved. To a maximum of $ 30 Marius estimates the cost of the infusion solution and the drugs. In most cases, the patients after two to three days to go home.

With consistent education of the population can be successfully controlled in the opinion of Marius the cholera epidemic. In the countryside, people are traditionally used to drink the water of the rivers, he says. In addition, there was a lack in hygiene at the basics. Sun inform Osapo reconnaissance teams to the population about to wash their hands before eating in any case with soap, water from the well or the river before use to clean a chlorine tablet, not to wash in the river and a latrine to. Hours on such six-member teams are in the villages around the clinic on the move.

The campaigns of education teams, it writes to the doctor that the number of new infections that are treated daily in the clinic, has declined dramatically. If it was in the early days after the outbreak of cholera, 50 patients per day are now about a dozen. If this type of screening done nationally, could be defeated cholera in the opinion of Marius in about five years. Whether this is possible, however, in the desolate medical care in the country, experts doubted.

Gardy also points out that there are many people in the country who could never see a doctor, even though their health is bad. Many people are malnourished. He also believes that apart from the official number of cholera deaths remain unreported.
