Writing in USAID’s “IMPACTblog,” Natalia Machuca, infectious disease adviser for Latin America and the Caribbean, examines efforts to control and eliminate cholera in Hispaniola, noting USAID on Friday “became an official member of the Coalition on Water and Sanitation for the Elimination of Cholera in Hispaniola.” She writes, “To add to the ongoing efforts of the Pan American Health Organization, the Centers for Disease Control, UNICEF and other strategic partners, USAID has pledged to support the Government of Haiti’s plan to eliminate cholera from Hispaniola.” She discusses USAID’s current work, which she states “already contributes to this goal through many different avenues that focus on cholera prevention as well as treatment and control” (6/28).
