ABSTRACT
From early 1991, shortly after the first cases of cholera occured in Peru in South America, cholera preparedness activities began in Belize. These were intensified when cholera spread to Central America and affected the neighbouring countries of Mexico and Guatemala. Physicians were sent to Guatemala for "hands-on" training in cholera treatment. Surveillance was intensified with diarrhoea being monitored in the under-5 and over-5 year age group. Case-investigation forms were developed, laboratory capability was strengthened and personnel retrained at CAREC Lab Diagnosis Workshops. Water, sanitation and education programs were stepped up. Several workshops at different levels were also held to sensitize and educate the public and health workers. Finally, a cholera preparedness plan was developed with assistance from PAHO and presented at a conference in Washington in December 1991 to try and mobilize additional resources for the fight against cholera (AU)
