The cholera poster provides essential information about the disease, including its symptoms, sources of infection, prevention measures, and treatment options. It describes cholera as a potentially fatal disease that spreads through contaminated food and water, particularly in emergency conditions. K...ey symptoms include severe diarrhea resembling "rice water," vomiting, leg cramps, weakness, and dehydration.
The poster emphasizes prevention strategies such as drinking only boiled or clean water, washing hands with soap, cooking food thoroughly, and maintaining hygiene when handling clothes and diapers. It also explains the importance of Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS), which can treat 80% of patients by preventing dehydration. ORS can be made at home using salt, sugar, and clean water. The poster highlights that cholera can quickly weaken a healthy person and even cause death within 24 hours if untreated.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an important public health concern shared by developed and developing countries. In developing countries the burden of infectious diseases is greater and exacerbated by limited access to, and availability and affordability of, antimicrobials required to treat infect...ions caused by AMR organisms. With drugs not listed on the essential drugs list (EDL), problems of increased morbidity, costs of extended hospitalisation and mortality are extremely serious. The problem of susceptibility to and spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) infectious agents is fuelled by factors such as limited access to clean water and sanitation to ensure personal hygiene, malnutrition, and the HIV/TB epidemic.

GO developed our Cancer Education Materials (CEM) tool to improve the patient diagnosis and treatment experience in resource-limited settings, reduce stigma, help facilitate dialogue between patients and providers, and ensure that no patient stops treatment beca...use they haven’t received complete information about the care process. These picture-based and culturally-appropriate materials were originally developed for a partner in Malawi, and the GO team continues its work to adapt, refine, evaluate, and expand our efforts, adding more languages and modes of treatment.
You can download “Cancer and You” in a number of languages including English, Spanish, Haitian Creole, Setswana, Luganda, Kiswahili, and Kinyarwanda.
