OCG response to cholera in Haiti, October 2010 - March 2011

A successful intervention is described in the evaluation report; yet questions raised on the MSF role in Cholera response and how it could go beyond a mainly curative response.

Social mobilisation was the key for rapid intervention and scale up. MSF had an important technical lead role in the nation-wide Cholera response.
