Enabling objectives

Core contents

1. Participants are able to explain the importance of diarrheal diseases during crisis situations and describe causal factors

1.1. Participants are able to describe the burden of diarrheal diseases

  • Defining diarrheal diseases

  • Spectrum of diarrheal diseases (agents, clinical types)

  • Morbidity and mortality

    • Worldwide, selected crisis situations

    • Most prevalent diarrheal diseases in crisis situations

    • Population groups most affected

    • Main cause of diarrheal deaths

1.2. Participants are able to identify risk factors for diarrheal diseases

  • Route of transmission

    • F-diagram - See 2.1. below

  • Situations that increase the risk of transmission

2. Participants are able to identify an appropriate response to cholera control in acute and protracted crisis situations

2.1. Participants are able to explain the core components of cholera control in order to reduce morbidity and mortality

Core components:

  • Early detection (surveillance) and immediate response

    • Confirmation diagnosis

    • One suspected cholera case means action is needed

  • Reducing transmission

    • Water, sanitation, hygiene

      • (F-diagram - see session Public health engineering,

      • protective hygiene measures

        • in community, treatment centres; dead body management)

    • Vaccination

  • Need for a multidisciplinary /multi-sectorial approac

    • Coordination mechanism during acute & protracted crises

      • (link with GTFCC (see 2.2. hereafter))

2.2. Participants are able to list key points about the 2017 worldwide initiative to reduce deaths from cholera by 90% by 2030

  • Global task for on cholera control (GTFCC)

    • Ending cholera: A global roadmap to 2030

    • Key action points
