38 Five years later Inadequate response to Cholera epidemic Poor sanitation Doctors without Borders (nurses are invited) still provide care Médecins San Frontières (MSF) and other NGOs responded for emergency relief efforts as well as managing four hospitals in the earthquake-affected area Obstetric emergencies Trauma Treated 23,000 cases of cholera
39 Lessons learned from Disaster Information and coordination management is a major challenge Disasters are tragedies, but also provide windows of opportunities Major focus on mental health and psychological support shed lights on the inadequacy of the lack of institutions for treating mental health patients Higher number of Amputees prompted a positive shift in public attitude toward those with disabilities and committed to rehabilitation program
