Haiti

This project was for English and Math.

In this project we had to pick a country and find a health
problem that it has.

We had to compare it to 3 other countries, but still use the
same health problem.

The country I chose was Haiti because they recently had an
earthquake now they are have a Cholera outbreak.

I compared it to Venezuela, Dominican Republic, Senegal

Cholera is a infection of small intestine which
comes from a bacterium called Vibrio cholerae.
Cholera usually causes watery diarrhea and
vomiting. You usually get infected by Cholera
when you drink contaminated water and not
proper hygienic food. Plus after you diarrhea and
vomit a lot it can lead to dehydration then
death.

Cholera there:
Haiti
 Venezuela
 Dominican Republic
 Senegal


Due to the earthquake in 2010 Haiti is the the country with the most
cholera cases

The Population of Haiti is approx. 10 million people and out of those
people 3 % of the population is infected with cholera every six months.

On average every six months Haiti has 287,749 Cholera cases.

Haiti is an island in the Atlantic Ocean and because of the earthquake
Haiti’s water supply was ruined and they had no choice but to drink the
water that came from the Atlantic Ocean which became infected with
feces, bacteria and etc.

Most people in Haiti are below the average line when it comes to
money. So they cant afford to have clean water and because of that
every day at least 23 people die from cholera infection

This pie chart shows the percentage of people that get
infected from Cholera every six months. The population of
Haiti on average is 10 million people:

The pie chart on the previous slide shows you how most of the
population is healthy. Plus how many people get infected with cholera
every six months. It also shows that some people water supplies could be
contaminated with feces and bacteria's and etc. On a positive side
most people are not infected with Cholera but this could be because
they don’t live in as much poverty as the people who are infected.
Lastly it shows how by the end of 15 years the whole population could
be infected if it continues like this.


The way Venezuela started to have Cholera cases is when a
group of 11 people went to Dominican Republic a place
near Haiti, for a wedding the food was contaminated but the
didn't find out till they were back in Venezuela.

It started of in February 2011 with only 11 cases within a
couple of weeks it has gone up to 452 Cholera cases.

At least everyday 31 get infected with Cholera.

Cholera is a new infection in Venezuela so only 0.002 % of the
population is infected by Cholera.

Venezuela’s population is around 27 million people.
This Graph shows the Healthier People and the People with
Cholera.
The graph show that there are more healthier people in
Venezuela. one reason could be because Cholera is a
new infection in Venezuela. Everyday at least 30 people
get infected every day. So if Cholera keeps on spreading
by the end of the year at least 11,000 people would be
infected


The population of Dominican Rebuplic is similar to Haitis it is around 10 million
people out of those people in 2010, 0.002 % of them were infected by
Cholera

Dominican Republic is a little country that borders Haiti.

Dominican Republic got Cholera cases from Haiti and that’s because they
don’t have a large border and Haiti suffered a terrible earthquake which
basically cut of most clean water supplies and because they are so close
Dominican Republic suffered too.

Most people in Dominican Republic similar to Haiti are living in poverty. So
because of that they don’t have hygienic medical facilities and they cant
afford to have clean water and because of that every day at least 23
people get infected from cholera infection.

The first time Dominican Republic had a Cholera case was November 17
2010 it was from a construction from Haiti that brought the illness. Within a
couple of week there was 56 cases and in early December of 2010 the was
around 110 Cholera cases confirmed.
This graph shows the people infected with Cholera and the people which
are Healthier in The Dominican Republic.
The graph show that there are more healthier
people in Dominican Republic. One reason could
be because Cholera is just starting but it is rapidly
spreading. Everyday at least 23 people get
infected every day but this changes all the time.
So if Cholera keeps on spreading by the end of
the year at least 8400 people would be infected.


Senegal has had a lot of cholera cases in years before but in
2010 there was not that many.

In 2010 there was 4 Cholera cases.

Senegal like most countries in Africa life in poverty and they
don’t have clean enough water and not very hygienic
hospitals.

Senegal's population is around 13 million people and out of
those people 0.00004 % are infected by Cholera
This graph shows Senegals Cholera case from
2006-2010.
This graph shows the past 4 years cholera cases in Senegal. It is kind of like a
rollercoaster it keeps going up and down one reason is because in 2005 is
when the first cholera cases broke out and they were not prepared. Then in
2006 they solved most of the cases. Then 2007 there was 2 major outbreaks.
Then 2008 most cases were solved. In 2009-2010 there was only 4 cases this
could be because they enough vaccines.


As you can see from the information I
gave you. That Haiti is becoming a
nation that is being infected with
Cholera rapidly. That is why the The
United Nation should help them by
maybe building more wells that provide
clean water and by making more
professional health facilities to help the
people that are infected with Cholera.
