Abstract:
Poor hygiene and economic environment and precarious living conditions are triggering cholera outbreaks all over the world.
Therefore, this guideline will give guidance towards strategies on reduction of mortality as well as of reduction of transmission. As one cannot exclude the other in order to be sufficient to tackle this disease. Nevertheless, if resources are limited, first priority will be given to case management and proper isolation of those ones.
The implementation of the strategies will differ as well when be addressed to rural, urban or closed (camp settings) situations.
This guideline is closing with cholera preparedness, which can be applied as well as first step before an outbreak occurs.
