Resource availability and capacity to implement multi-stranded cholera interventions in the north-east region of Nigeria.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Limited healthcare facility (HCF) resources and capacity to implement multi-stranded cholera interventions (water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), surveillance, case management, and community engagement) can hinder the actualisation of the global strategic roadmap goals for cholera control, especially in settings made fragile by armed conflicts, such as the north-east region of Nigeria. Therefore, we aimed to assess HCF resource availability and capacity to implement these cholera interventions in Adamawa and Bauchi States in Nigeria as well as assess their coordination in both states and Abuja where national coordination of cholera is based.

Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional survey using a face-to-face structured questionnaire to collect data on multi-strand
