Natural hazards including tidal waves and floods
greatly increase the risk of diarrheal disease along with other waterborne,
water-related, and communicable diseases. Diarrheal pathogens spreads through
direct contact with floodwater itself or through compromised water sources. Standing
water left by flooding can become a breeding ground for mosquito-borne
pathogens.
That is why we are generating long term data series in Anyako, Anyanui and Atiteti (Volta Region), Eastern Coast; Opetekwei (Greater Accra Region) and Mumford (Central Region), Central Coast of Ghana to model the interactions between climatic, hydrological, environmental, epidemiological, institutional and socio-cultural determinants of diarrhoea with the aim to among other things, improve diarrhoeal management in coastal communities.
Interested in diarrhoeal case management, you may contact us to collaborate and expand our efforts.
