TEXT ON SCREEN

Political crisis.
Economic Crisis.
Insecurity.
Limited access to healthcare.

The capital of Port-au-Prince is now
facing a cholera outbreak.

As of early October,
MSF opened
five cholera
treatment centres.

More than 8,500 people
have already been admitted.

Dr. Comlan Paulin Amoussou
Medical officer for the cholera emergency

« With the insecurity, not all patients can come to the MSF centres immediately.
This makes it difficult for us to provide care. We are overwhelmed, we have no places.
We make do with the means at hand. »

TEXT ON SCREEN

Access to clean water is essential for stopping the disease.

Antoine Gilbert - Watsan

"We came today to a neighbourhood called Cité l'Eternel. To do one thing, that is to treat the water for access to drinking water by chlorination. So we identified water points with community leaders and with people responsible for water points. We trained them on water chlorination, to check the chlorine level which allows us to treat the water and make it drinkable."

TEXT ON SCREEN

The situation in Port-au-Prince is dire.

Cholera is preventable and treatable.

In order to prevent more deaths, an urgent scale-up in response is required.
