SANTO DOMINGO, Jan. 11 (Xinhua) -- The Dominican Republic and Haiti Wednesday launched a joint1 plan aimed at eliminating cholera2, which has claimed more than 7,000 lives in both countries since October 2010.
The efforts were backed by the World Health Organization (WHO), the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), and the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF), Dominican officials said.
The plan, "Call to action: the Hispaniola without cholera", aims to improve
sanitary3 and living conditions of the Haiti people who face herculean
reconstruction4 work following a
devastating5 earthquake in the country on Jan. 12, 2010, that killed 220,000 people and displaced over 1 million.
Cases of cholera, an infection that causes severe diarrhea that can lead to
dehydration6 and death, first appeared in Haiti in October, 2010.
The
epidemic7 has so far killed more than 7,000 people and left nearly 500,000 more sick in Haiti.
It also killed 135 people in the Dominican Republic as of September 2011, according to Dominican health authorities.
Some 500 million U.S. dollars will be invested in projects related to sanitization and the construction of
infrastructure8 that has to do with waterworks in both nations in the long term.
