Haiti - Health : The number of Cholera cases increasing alarmingly 10/05/2015 12:04:01 He predicts more than 50,000 new cases in 2015, while the number had fallen by 60,000 in 2013 to 28.000 in 2014, its lowest level since the beginning of the epidemic in 2010. Mr. Medrano deplores that for the donor community, it is no longer a priority after four years of struggle against the epidemic, stressing that this is still an emergency, citing the risk to neighboring countries such as Cuba and the Dominican Republic... Recall that the United Nations has launched a $2.2 billion ten-year program to improve the health infrastructure of the country, but the funds are lacking meanwhile to treat patients and prevent new cases. The UN wants to vaccinate 300,000 people this year in Haiti, but it still lacks 1.9 million. In total, the UN still needs $36.5 million in 2015, to fight against the epidemic in Haiti. TB/ HaitiLibre
