  • Health Cluster Bulletin
    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.

  • Access to Drinking Water and Community Development in Northwestern Haiti
    Development, Environment and Foresight, 2015, Vol. 1, No. 1, 44—61, ISSN: 2336-6621 Access to Drinking Water and Community Development in Northwestern Haiti Kristýna Lungová // [email protected] Department of Development Studies, Palacký University Olomouc, Czech Republic Abstract There are approximately 700,000 inhabitants in Northwestern Haiti. Only a fraction of this population has regular daily access to water and its cleanliness is questionnable. Prolonged political instability and a lack of financial resources for water infrastructure results in more than 50% of inhabitants having no access to safe drinking water at all. Bombardopolis is a commune center in the Northwest region of Haiti. Only two thirds of the commune is inhabited. One of the main reasons that it is not fully inhabited is the in- accessibility to water. In 2012, a Czech NGO drilled a well close to the settlement in this area. The research is showing a case study of access to drinking water in Bombardopolis. It is investigating the impact of such a well on its surroundings. Time saved as a result of a closer water source allows for social and economic individual or community develop- ment and this model can be duplicated in other areas. The quantitative part of the re- search focuses on microbiological and chemical quality tests as an inseparable component for measuring quality of water sources. Key words: Haiti, safe drinking water, well drilling, quality of water sources, community development Introduction It has been proven that contaminated or insufficient water supply increases deprivation of people (Zakria Zakar, Zakar and Fischer 2012), child mortality, reduces life expectancy and causes diseases that can lead to death if there is insufficient treatment (Hunter, Mac- Donald and Carter 2010).
