Haiti is a Caribbean country that shares the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic to its east. Though it’s still recovering from a 2010 earthquake, many of Haiti's landmarks dating to the early 19th century remain intact. These include Citadelle la Ferrière, a mountaintop fortress, and the nearby ruins of Sans-Souci Palace, the baroque former royal home of King Henry I. ― Google

Haiti – Cholera epidemics

Body

As of 18 October, the Ministry of Health reported 23 in hospital deaths, 111 confirmed cases, and 725 suspected cases of cholera, including 188 hospitalized cases. These figures do not include cases reported at the Port-au-Prince Civil Prison. Children under age 14 account for approximately 50% of suspected cases. In the national penitentiary, 12 cases have been confirmed as of 16 October, along with 271 suspected cases and 14 deaths.

While the majority of suspected cases are concentrated in the Ouest department, including in Cité Soleil and in Port-au-Prince, a number of suspected cases have also been identified in the Centre department.

As of 18 October, the 13 cholera treatment centers (CTCs) in operation have a total bed capacity of 420.

The blockade of the main oil terminal in the country continues to inflict devastating impacts on medical facilities and health care workers. Several hospitals have confirmed that they will be forced to limit their services, including surgeries that require the use of electrical generators.
