Health systems strengthening, including for sexual and reproductive health and rights services
Technical Note: Cholera treatment facilities provide inpatient care for cholera patients during outbreaks. Proper case management and isolation of cholera patients is essential to prevent deaths and help control the spread of

rurales, par exemple). Les CTC/UTC peuvent être mis en place en tant que structures indépendantes dans
des tentes ou à l’intérieur de bâtiments existants ou dans des unités sanitaires. Quelle que soit la structure,
