The Haitian government launched in February 2013, a 10 year plan to eliminate cholera in Haiti. The aim is to limit the transmission of cholera by improving access to water, sanitation, hygiene and health care facilities for 80-90% of the Haitian population. In addition it would contribute to the reduction of waterborne diseases which is the primary cause of deaths among infants. These measures could help prevent 9.5% of all deaths in Haiti. However, experts warn these expectations are not realistic due to limited international commitment and a fragile government.
