	Cholera: Revised cholera kits and calculation tool World Health Organization (WHO) (2021) C_WHO View PDF(1886) Download (581) Add to my MEDBOX In 2016 WHO introduced the Cholera Kits. These kits replace the Interagency Diarrhoeal Disease Kit (IDDK) which had been used for many years. The Cholera Kit is designed to be flexible and adaptable for preparedness and outbreak response in different contexts. The overall Cholera Kit is made up of an Investigation Kit, Laboratory materials, 3 Treatment Kits (community, periphery and central) and a Hardware Kit. The Treatment and Hardware Kits are each composed of individual modules. Each of the kits and modules can be ordered independently based on field need. To support orders, a Cholera Kit Calculation Tool was developed. The information note, packing lists and the Kit Calculation Tool are all available from the WHO website at: http://www.who.int/cholera/kit/en Tags: cholera, emergency care, emergency health kits, clinical practice guidelines, Online Courses, Source: https://openwho.org/courses/cholera-kits
	Cholera kits 2020 World Health Organization (WHO) (2020) C_WHO Open external link (703) Add to my MEDBOX For several years, agencies supporting preparedness and response to cholera outbreaks have supplied medicines and medical devices through the Interagency Diarrhoeal Disease Kits (IDDK). In an effort to better align the presentation and content of the kits to field needs, the composition of the cholera kits has been reviewed by WHO and its partners in 2015 and again in 2020. The content of all modules have been slightly revised with no changes except for the cholera laboratory check list. The revised cholera kits 2020 are designed to help prepare for a potential cholera outbreak and to support the first month of the initial response for 100 cases. The overall package consists of six different kits, each divided in several modules Tags: cholera, emergency care, humanitarian aid, medical, medical staff, WHO guidelines, Source: https://www.who.int/emergencies/emergenc
	Cholera in Yemen: A case study of epidemic preparedness and response The Johns Hopkins Center for Humanitarian Healt (2018) C1 View PDF(700) Download (265) Add to my MEDBOX The report offers 20 top recommendations for getting ahead of future outbreaks in Yemen and similarly complex humanitarian settings. In 2015, Yemen was declared a Level 3 emergency by the UN, kicking into gear the highest level of humanitarian support. A massive cholera outbreak followed, leading to 1 million suspected cases in 2 waves from September 2016-July 2018. “We largely know ‘what to do’ to control cholera, but context-specific practices on ‘how to do it’ in order to surmount challenges to coordination, logistics, insecurity, access and politics remain needed,” the report states. While the response improved between the 2 waves, there were gaps. For one, Yemen’s history of cholera should have triggered a heavy focus on pre-planning for an epidemic, such as stockpiling supplies and doubling down on community-based surveillance, the report fo Tags: Report, cholera, Epidemic Preparedness, outbreak response, Yemen, conflict, humanitarian crisis, Source: http://www.hopkinshumanitarianhealth.org

The fight against this disease requires a multidisciplinary approach that combines a water, hygiene and sanitation (WaSH) response with a monitoring system, improved water supply and quality, sanitation and hygiene, and a health response with the treatment of the disease itself Tags: cholera, outbreak control, Outbreak Preparedness Plan and Coordination, handbook, Source: https://reliefweb.int/sites/reliefweb.in

	Cholera kit calculation tool World Health Organization WHO (2016) C_WHO View PDF(1459) Download (345) Add to my MEDBOX This tool provides a quick and simple way to calculate and subsequently order the new cholera kits and modules. The tool is best suited to estimate needs relating to cholera preparedness. The tool uses pre-defined scenarios based on available population data, pre-defined attack rates as well as the number of health care facilities available. It will help to calculate the number of mandatory essential kits for a cholera response; the number of complementary modules if necessary, including the number of cholera beds as well as estimations on costs for goods and freight from supplier till the port of entry in a particular country.
