PID's Statement on Cholera Outbreak In Haiti

PID's Statement on Cholera Outbreak In Haiti

On Wednesday, we first heard the word that there was possible cholera. It was finally confirmed 24 hours later by the WHO, the CDC and the health department. We knew it was far from us geographically.


Today, we heard that it is in the Arbonite River and is traveling. Brooke left the medical conference early to talk to the clinic staff. They will be prepared to deal with it if it becomes necessary and have all the medicine in place if it becomes necessary.


Please see the attached link for the full statement regarding the outbreak on our website.
