Father Andre from Robillard sent me an email last night.

See this post from Crof's blog.

Father describes a situation in his village which is probably going on in many places...too many cholera patients in "underserved" areas.

I will post his email to a couple of websites that address Haiti's cholera epidemic and see if there is an answer.

There are so many people of goodwill with public health backgrounds trying to slow the morbidity and mortality from cholera in Haiti. There has to be an answer.

Haiti: Father Andre emails about cholera

Thanks to Dr. John Carroll for forwarding this email from Father Andre Sylvestre in Robillard, Haiti:

Dear Dr. Carroll,

I hope this email will find you very well. I know that you like to be updated about the cholera situation in Robillard. Well. Tonight there a 6 inpatients cholera in the CTC of Rose Merci clinic. All the inpatients cholera come from Grizon-Garde (a community located in the municipality of Acul du Nord). 

As you can see, the Haitian authorities do not do anything yet to provide a CTC to the municipality of Acul du Nord.  They continue to take free ride from Rose-Merci clinic. So, the cholera patients keep coming to Robillard. 

We do not know what to do with that situation.  Please be the voice of the people of Robillard.

Father Andre Sylvestre

Pastor of the parish of Robillard.
