Five years after Haiti’s worst cholera outbreak, a newly opened cholera treatment center in Port-au-Prince has been designed to battle the highly contagious disease.

Even more spectacular is the mini waste-water management system. This is an important feature as cholera typically spreads by lack of sanitation infrastructure.
