	Water, Sanitation and Hygiene and Infection Prevention and Control in Cholera Treatment Structures UN Children's Fund UNICEF Global Task Force on Cholera (2019) C_UNICEF View PDF(53) Download (29) Add to my MEDBOX Technical Note: Cholera treatment facilities provide inpatient care for cholera patients during outbreaks. Proper case management and isolation of cholera patients is essential to prevent deaths and help control the spread of the disease. Traditionally, these structures have been referred to as cholera treatment centres (CTCs) and cholera treatment units (CTUs). CTCs are usually large structures set up at central level (e.g. urban areas), while CTUs are smaller structures set up in the periphery (e.g. peri-urban or rural areas). CTCs/CTUs can be set up as independent structures in tents or within existing buildings or wards of health structures.

	Eau, hygiène et assainissement, prévention et contrôle des infections dans les structures de traitement du choléra UN Children's Fund UNICEF Groupe spécial mondial de lutte contre le Choléra (2019) C_UNICEF View PDF(49) Download (34) Add to my MEDBOX Note technique. Les centres de traitement de choléra fournissent des soins hospitaliers aux patients atteints de choléra pendant les épidémies. Une prise en charge de qualité et l’isolement des patients atteints du choléra sont essentiels pour prévenir les décès et aider à lutter contre la propagation de la maladie. Traditionnellement, ces structures sont appelées centres de traitement du choléra (CTC) et unités de traitement du choléra (UTC). Les CTC sont généralement de grandes structures mises en place au niveau central (zones urbaines, par exemple), tandis que les UTC sont des structures plus petites, installées en périphérie (zones périurbaines ou rurales, par exemple). Les CTC/UTC peuvent être mis en place en tant que structures indépendantes dans des tentes ou à l’intérieur de bâtiments existants ou dans des unités sanitaires.

	Cholera: Revised cholera kits and calculation tool World Health Organization (WHO) (2021) C_WHO View PDF(2030) Download (689) Add to my MEDBOX In 2016 WHO introduced the Cholera Kits. These kits replace the Interagency Diarrhoeal Disease Kit (IDDK) which had been used for many years. The Cholera Kit is designed to be flexible and adaptable for preparedness and outbreak response in different contexts. The overall Cholera Kit is made up of an Investigation Kit, Laboratory materials, 3 Treatment Kits (community, periphery and central) and a Hardware Kit. The Treatment and Hardware Kits are each composed of individual modules. Each of the kits and modules can be ordered independently based on field need. To support orders, a Cholera Kit Calculation Tool was developed. The information note, packing lists and the Kit Calculation Tool are all available from the WHO website at: http://www.who.int/cholera/kit/en Tags: cholera, emergency care, emergency health kits, clinical practice guidelines, Online Courses, Source: https://openwho.org/courses/cholera-kits
