| description | Cholera is a reemerging disease that was reintroduced into Cuba in late 2012. A provincial workshop attended by 83 professionals from the health institutions in the territory was developed on August 27, 2014 in order to analyse the technical elements for prevention and management of cholera outbreaks and to improve the provincial prevention and control plan for this disease. Group techniques including brainstorming and focus group were applied. Finally, the groups met to present their recommendations and approve the document. Main areas for improvement are related to: keeping an intensive training program, particularly for new professionals and technicians; having safe means for disinfecting and washing contaminated clothes; developing a health promotion and prevention strategy related to “clean hands” and “safe drinking water”; improving the information flow and intra- and inter-sectoral collaboration. It is concluded that the cholera prevention and control plan comprises the technical elements for an appropriate response; however, it can be improved by means of new training and control actions, increased risk perception among health professionals and in the communities, effective control of events and improved networking and inter-sectoral work. |
