In 1999 CIET conducted a baseline survey to monitor a cholera control and prevention programme called “Health Kiosks” in Guatemala. The survey was part of the “Project for Strengthening the Cholera Control and Prevention Plan”, of the Ministry of Public Health and Social Assistance of Guatemala. It was conducted under the coordination of Dr. Patricia Ruiz of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) and was funded by the Department for International Development of the Government of the United Kingdom (DFID).
