6. DEVELOPMENT (routine) programming focus
Approach
Reduced deaths and suffering related to cholera
RESPONSE
(Minimising deaths, limiting scale of outbreak)
PREPAREDNESS
(Being ready so when cholera happens responses are more effective)
PREVENTION
(Preventing cholera from occurring)
Multi-stage approach to cholera:
Coordinated Preparedness, Prevention and Response
EMERGENCY programming focus
Investment towards reduction (elimination) of cholera should be done from different angles.
From the development side through including cholera considerations within the ‘regular’ programmes (PREVENTION) to reduce the risks of cholera and preventing it from occurring at all… Also to improve capacities for an overall management of cholera among the different relevant sectors (Health, WASH, Communication, etc.)
PREPAREDNESS, specially for cholera endemic/at risk countries, to undertake specific cholera related activities to improve capacities to respond to cholera in all different aspects in case a response is needed (health, WASH, communications, supplies, resource mobilization).
RESPONSE, Improved action for better treatment and limiting/reducing the spread of the disease.
