Cholera, that had been present in rural areas north of Port-au-Prince, Haiti since October 2010, reached the urban area in November. Due to the novelty of the disease in this region, to the lack of health care, clean water, and waste disposal facilities, and to the extensive damage caused by the earthquake on January 12, 2010, that left a large victim population living in camps, a large-scale health disaster was feared. However, after two months, the disease appeared to be relatively well-controlled and treated with a fatality rate of less than 1% in the urban area. Actions implemented by the Ministry of Health long with its efforts to coordinate the intervention of the many humanitarian partners played a role in this outcome.
霍乱自2010年10月起在海地太子港以北的农村地区出现，11月蔓延至市区。由于该疾病在该地区较为新颖，缺乏医疗保健、清洁水源和废物处理设施，以及2010年1月12日地震造成的广泛破坏，导致大量灾民居住在营地，人们担心会发生大规模的健康灾难。然而，两个月后，该疾病似乎得到了相对较好的控制，市区的死亡率低于1%。卫生部采取的行动以及其协调众多人道主义伙伴干预的努力在这一结果中发挥了作用。
