    The Unit Gvt should be more focused on the urgent issues in order to get rid of this cholera crisis. As a Nurse Practioner I would appreciate seeing more being done in poor urban areas where people have poor services. Trash collection is a big deal including sewege repairs and overcrowding. I hope the International Communities will support our country on this crisis.
