Cholera in Sierra Leone

zainabblell — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 02:52:39 +0000

Cholera is a global Health issue that has affected thousands of Sierra Leoneans since the first cases were reported in February of this year. As a citizen of this community I am concern about the alarming spread of this disease because it is both preventable and easily treated. I wish to provide key information to help raise awareness and educate vulnerable communities on actions needed to reduce cholera outbreaks and alert stakeholders to increase the resources to prevent and eradicate it. We must take charge of our health by preventing and stopping this disease from killing us and our children. The presentation is geared towards the adult populace of Sierra Leone particularly those that live in overcrowded communities and slum areas.
