The Coalition for Cholera Prevention and Control (CCPC) is a Task Force initiative that seeks to bring a comprehensive solution to a perennial disease of poverty. Cholera is a water-borne illness which plagues people living without clean water and adequate sanitation. Drawing on the diverse expertise of Coalition members, the group promotes a comprehensive integrated strategy that blends traditional approaches – disease detection, diagnosis, and treatment; safe drinking water, proper disposal of human waste, and hygiene (WaSH) – with appropriate use of recently developed oral cholera vaccines (OCV). The Coalition and the integrated strategy demonstrate the value of diverse partners working together.
