Description On October 21, 2010, a cholera outbreak was confirmed by the Haitian National Public Health Laboratory. By November 19, the outbreak had reached every department of the country, and by December 17, a total of 121,518 cases of cholera, resulting in 63,711 hospitalizations and 2,591 deaths, had been reported. By November 16, additional cases of cholera had been confirmed in the neighboring
Dominican Republic and in Florida. - A report by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report on 24 December, 2010. Again, a cholera epidemic strikes a human population just recent. This time the cholera pidemic is in Haiti, a small country that has undergone large disasters. On January 12, 2010, a
huge earthquake killed over 3,00,000 people, leaving Haiti with a huge homeless population and
its main city, Port-au-Prince, devoid of most normal services and sanitary conditions. Many city residents left, but the more rural areas were not any better at supplying people with sanitary conditions. Many Haitians simply turned to their largest river in the country for water to drink, bathe, wash clothes, and swim in. This is a perfect environment for the development and spread of cholera
in Haiti. this occurs mainly in the developing world.
