Displacement of population with conflict
WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION September 2003
Water and Sanitation in Monrovia• Only 32% of Liberia’s population has access to
clean drinking water
• Less than 30% of the people have access to latrines
• Most people depend on wells and many of these are polluted. Garbage can easily be washed down the wells and contaminate them.
• In Monrovia there is no regular garbage collection since 1996. In March 2003, garbage collection completely collapsed
WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION September 2003
IDP Camps in Monrovia
• Over 90 camps in Monrovia provide shelter to at least 250,000 displaced people
• People in the camps receive a maximum of 3 liters of water per day for drinking, cooking , washing and personal hygiene
• They receive a bowl of rice and high energy biscuits through WFP
• Daily heavy rainfalls make living conditions in the camps very difficult
WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION September 2003
IDP Camps in Monrovia
• 22 latrines in the SKD stadium have to serve the needs of 45,000 people
• In the Masonic Temple, there are tenlatrines for 10,000 people
• The health center of the SKD footballstadium is completely overwhelmed,up to 500 patients come every day to see six nurses
WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION September 2003
Situation Outside Monrovia
• Access to basic health services is very limited. Most health facilities have been looted and destroyed
• In the few remaining clinics, staff is notwell trained and have not been paid for years
• Significant shortage of medicines
• Food available in local market but most people do not have the money to buy anything

Surveillance
• To know the health problems• To follow trends in disease • To assess magnitude and location• To detect epidemics• To calculate the resources needed• To target interventions
WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION September 2003
Health Problems
• Cholera• Malnutrition• Measles• Malaria• Anaemia
• Severe Cholera outbreak due to highpopulation density in camps and poorhygiene. Between 25.8. and 1.9., 2035 new cases have been reported
• Up to 40% of children in Liberia suffer from acute malnutrition
• National Immunization Programscollapsed, measles coverage < 40%
•Malaria is endemic throughout the country - up to 35% of consultations
•Anaemia major cause of hospitalization in children, requiring transfusion

Standardisation: Chlorination of Wells
65 % purechlorine
1% chlorinesolution
How to prepare 1 gallon of 1% chlorine solution
The quantities are calculated with an average wellvolume of 8m3 (1m diameter and 10m watercolumn), a level of 5ppm of chlorine in the well and11 grams per soup spoon.
1 gallonjerry-can
1 – Take 6big spoons
of purechlorine
2 - Empty the 6spoons into the1 gallon jerry-can filled withwater
1 gallonjerry-can
1 gallonjerry-can
3 – Shake thejerry-can todissolve the purechlorine
4 – Emptyslowly thejerry-can intothe well
• Priority setting:– Areas where high incidence of cholera
• Strategy: – Wells to be chlorinated vs– Wells to be closed– Methodology to be used
• Supervision and monitoring : – Water quality control– Residual chlorine levels
WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION September 2003
WHO action• QUALITY ESSENTIAL
HEALTH CARE SERVICESPrimary and Referral Services– Standard setting– Guidelines– Training and Supervision– Medications and Material
• CO-ORDINATION– of over 50 NGOs to ensure
rapid, effective, well-targeted health sector response
