Health Cluster Bulletin HEALTH CLUSTER BULLETIN CHOLERA AND POST-EARTHQUAKE RESPONSE IN HAITI – FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 2011 – #21 Highlights The national strategy for cholera response, jointly developed by MSPP with PAHO/WHO’s support, has been finalized and is pending for final validation from MSPP. According to the MSPP on the transition strategy of phasing out NGOs from the CTCs and CTUs, NGOs should keep the infrastructure (CTC, CTU, ORC) in place with enough supplies to keep them functioning and ensure a hand over to the MSPP or to another NGO capable to run the service. Taking into consideration the stabilizing trend and reduction of cholera cases, the MSPP expressed the need for the health actors operating in Haiti to move towards a strategy to rebuild the health system, where the reconstruction of health infrastructure and training of professionals are the priority There is an urgent need to strengthen WASH coordination and activities at the departmental level Heightened vigilance is required due to the increased risk for spread of cholera related to the carnival celebrations. It is now time to take advantage of the lessons learned during the cholera epidemic and revisit the public health surveillance system in an integrated manner, focusing on institutionalization of the systematic use of all sources of information, for early warning and timely decision making. Officials from Haiti’s MSPP met with counterparts from PAHO/WHO, UNICEF, and other partners to outline the new plan to improve immunization services in Haiti over the next five years. Dear health partners, While there is a marked decrease in the incidence of cholera cases, the proximity of the carnival, elections campaign, and rainy season are risk factors that can have a negative impact in the decreasing trend. Aware of these risks, MSPP as well as some of the NGOs are staying vigilant and delaying the closing of treatment centers. Thank you, Health Cluster Coordination Alerts in Archaie triggered rapid response from MSPP, PAHO/WHO, and the Red Cross The Ministère de la Santé Publique et de la Population (MSPP) and PAHO, the Regional Office of the World Health Organization (WHO) for the Americas, coordinate the Health Cluster. MSPP Cluster Contacts: Dr. Claude Surena; Dr. Jean Hugues Henrys; PAHO/WHO Contacts: Dr. Juan Carlos Gustavo Alonso; Dr. Josep Vargas Health Cluster partners are asked to contribute to this bulletin with information on needs and activities as well as corrections to content, by emailing [email protected] (subject heading: Health Cluster Bulletin).

HAITI HEALTH CLUSTER BULLETIN #21 – PAGE 2 Situation Overview According to the data sent by the MSPP, the cumulative number of reported cholera cases up to 21st of February is 243,197, including 4,626 deaths. Despite the downward trend during the last periods, the number of hospitalized cholera cases (5,934) reported during the week of 15-21 February, 2011 has been the highest since week of 17 January 2011 (Figure 1). The West Department accounts for 43% of the reported hospitalized cases during week 15-21 February 2011. The case fatality rate observed among hospitalized cases was 2.1%. Figure 1 Cumulative number of cholera cases hospitalised by week of reporting (N=132,232) Haiti, 8 Nov 2010 to 21 Feb 2011 120,000 80,000 40,000 Nb Nb hospitalizations 0 08/11/2010 22/11/2010 06/12/2010 20/12/2010 03/01/2011 17/01/2011 31/01/2011 14/02/2011 Week of reporting Methanol poisoning: On 25 January, 12 people died in Archaie. The symptoms were compatible with methanol poisoning. On 17 February, at the Cabaret Health Centre, Nord-Baie de Haine, 3 people died with the same symptoms. The investigation carried out found that all of them consumed a local alcoholic beverage, Clairin, which is the suspected source of poisoning. On 24 February, 4 additional people died in Baie de Henne. On 2 March, a team of MSPP and PAHO- WHO started an investigation which is still ongoing. The treatment protocol for methanol poisoning has been made available. PAHO/WHO has funded a sensitization campaign in Cabaret. No more cases have been reported in the last period. It is necessary to improve access to drinking water and environmental sanitation in order to maintain the positive trend of the cholera epidemic. There is a constant concern expressed at the departmental level to increase efforts in the WASH sector, ensure better coordination of actors and invest more by national authorities and the international actors. Though the UNHAS air operation is currently only funded until the end of February 2011, WFP has decided to keep the Mi-6 helicopter until the end of May 2011, as the aircraft is still needed to deliver life-saving cholera relief items to remote mountainous areas. WFP is currently approaching donors to request for additional funding to keep the service active. The fixed-wing aircraft includes 410 service, however, will be discontinued in April 2011 due to maintenance issues. A decision will be taken to determine whether to bring it back at a later date. Officials from Haiti’s MSPP met with counterparts from PAHO/WHO, UNICEF, and other partners to outline their new plan to improve immunization services in Haiti over the next five years. The new Haiti plan covers routine vaccination, epidemiological surveillance, social mobilization, communication, training and management from 2011 through 2015, with detailed costs and plans for inclusion of pentavalent and other new vaccines. Its aim is to strengthen Haiti’s basic Expanded Program on Immunization and convert it into a National Immunization Program targeting families.

The observed cumulative incidence since the beginning of the outbreak was of 23.5 per 1,000 inhabitants, ranging from 4.0 per 1,000 in the Department of South-East to 38.2 per 1,000 in the Department of Artibonite (Figure 2). Figure 2: Cumulative incidence of reported cholera cases (number of cases per 1,000 inhabitants), by Department, 20 October 2010 - 21 February 2011 The observed overall case fatality rate was 1.9%, ranging from 0.9% in Port-au-Prince to 9.4% in the Department of South-East. Since the beginning of the outbreak, 89.4% (217,432) of the reported cases were observed among individuals aged 5 years or more, and the proportion of cases observed in children less than 5 years ranged from 5.5% in the Centre Department to 13.9% in the Artibonite Department. Of the total number of reported cholera cases, 54% (132,232) had been hospitalized since the beginning of the outbreak (Figure 3) HAITI HEALTH CLUSTER BULLETIN #21 – PAGE 4 Figure 3 Cumulative number of cholera cases hospitalised by week of reporting (N=132,232) Haiti, 8 Nov 2010 to 21 Feb 2011 120,000 80,000 The number of hospitalized cholera cases (5,934) reported during the week of 15-21 February 2011, was the highest since week ending40,000 on 17 January 2011 (Figure 4).

However, the rainy season, carnival celebrations, as well as the phasing out of cholera treatment centres and units calls for heightened attention by health authorities and partners involved in surveillance activities, both at health care facility and community level. An accurate and timely monitoring of the evolution of the cholera outbreak that allows for prompt control intervention requires the integration and triangulation of all sources of information: formal and informal, quantitative and qualitative, health care facility based and community based. The contribution of the event based alert component introduced and systemized during the cholera outbreak has proven increasingly valuable in ensuring the early warning function with respect to other public health events. Therefore, efforts should be made by health authorities and HAITI HEALTH CLUSTER BULLETIN #21 – PAGE 5 partners to support the process related to the integration of all information sources that would also allow a more effective information management process.

    HEALTH CLUSTER BULLETIN CHOLERA AND POST-EARTHQUAKE RESPONSE IN HAITI – TUESDAY, MAY 3, 2011 – #24 Highlights A vulnerability analysis was carried out based on information provided by the MSPP, PAHO/WHO, and health partners, while taking into account combined risk factors from Health and WASH sectors. In addition, aspects such as population density, camps, access to water and sanitation, attack rate, mortality, and socioeconomic status were taken into account to evaluate the risks. Based on this analysis, it is reasonable to expect the first outbreaks in the Departments of West (including Port-au-Prince), South and South East, whereas Jeremie, Cap Haitien, and Port de Paix have been identified as highly vulnerable localities as well. Financial gaps for response to potential outbreaks are observed with MSPP and certain NGOs whose cholera funds are expiring. Several donors (ECHO, USAID) have indicated that new funds to respond to potential cholera outbreaks are available. The number of new cholera cases nationwide continues to decrease. The number of new cases in Northeast, Center, Port-au-Prince, North, Northwest, Artibonite, West, Nippes and Grande Anse departments are stable or decreasing. However, cases in South and South-East are increasing, potentially confirming the abovementioned vulnerability analysis. Dear health partners, At the start of the rainy season, we observe an upsurge in cholera outbreaks. The Health Cluster is continuously gathering information regarding the response capacity and short and medium term plans of health actors, and coordinating responses in outbreak areas. We appreciate our partners‟ and other health actors‟ efforts in response to these outbreaks. Health Cluster Coordination Haiti elects Michel Martelly as their new president in the runoff election.

  • WATER RESOURCES ASSESSMENT of HAITI August 1999
    WATER RESOURCES ASSESSMENT OF HAITI August 1999 Haiti Dominican Republic US Army Corps of Engineers Mobile District and Topographic Engineering Center Water Resources Assessment of Haiti Executive Summary Haiti is one of the most densely populated countries in the world and one of the poorest in the Western Hemisphere. The population has already outstripped domestic food production, and it is estimated that the population will be 8 million by the year 2000. One-third of the population lives in the Département de l’Ouest where Port-au-Prince is located. Heavy migration from rural areas to towns and cities occurring over the past decade has adversely affected the distribution of the water supply. Access to water and sanitation facilities is inadequate, contributing to poor living conditions, disease, and a high mortality rate. In 1990 only 39 percent of the 5.9 million residents had adequate access to water and only 24 percent to sanitation. The lack of potable water for basic human needs is one of the most critical problems in the country. Given the rainfall and abundant water resources, there is adequate water to meet the water demands, but proper management to develop and maintain the water supply requirements is lacking. However, the water supply sector is undergoing complete transformation. Although currently there is no comprehensive water policy, progress is being made towards establishing a national water resources management policy. Numerous agencies and non-government organizations (NGO’s) are working to provide water, many of which conduct their missions with little or no coordination with other agencies, which creates duplication of work and inefficient use of resources.
