Mapping Cholera in Bangladesh
Mapping Cholera in Bangladesh
Bangladesh  Health
Every year, millions of Bangladeshis contract cholera - the nation's most prevalent diarrhea disease. Using cell phones equipped with data collection software, the Village Zero Project (V0P) aims to create a map that will show the proliferation of cholera in time and space, thus exposing where outbreaks most commonly originate. With this knowledge, water and sanitation infrastructure interventions can be implemented at the most disease-prone regions, helping to mitigate the spread of disease. project reportread updates from the field
