When transporting samples by motorcycle becomes too difficult, nurses coordinate with other forms of ground, sea and even air transport to deliver them to the laboratory on time, for example using helicopter services from the United Nations Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS). In addition, five sub-national laboratories in public and private hospitals (in the Artibonite, Center, South and North Departments) have been reactivated to help overcome this difficulty.
Despite the difficulties and challenges, and thanks to the generous financial support of our humanitarian donors - the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) and the European Commission's Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection department (ECHO) -, Labo Moto nurses continue to help communities as part of the response to better manage and control the current cholera epidemic in Haiti.
