Le Plan Stratégique Multisectoriel d’Élimination du Choléra en République Démocratique du Congo (2013-2017) vise à réduire l’incidence du choléra à moins d’un cas pour 100 000 habitants. Ce plan repose sur une approche multisectorielle, combinant santé, eau, hygiène et assainissemen...t pour enrayer la transmission du choléra.
Il identifie trois types de zones : zones sources (A), zones épidémiques (B) et zones de diffusion (C), chacune nécessitant des interventions adaptées. Les stratégies incluent l’amélioration des infrastructures d’eau potable et d’assainissement, la surveillance épidémiologique, la prévention, la prise en charge médicale et la coordination des actions.
