Abstract

In India, cholera has been a problem for a long time, yet it is still widespread. Cholera can cause severe diarrhea and dehydration, with a high mortality rate in untreated patients. Despite the efforts of the government of India, the cholera pandemic in India has not yet been eradicated. Consequently, it is essential to analyze the reasons. This presentation will also present a possible reaction mechanism from the standpoint of public policy. Even though cholera is a preventable and curable illness, it is seen as a severe public health issue in a developing and densely populated nation such as India. Cholera is transmitted primarily through contaminated water, and migration, restricted access to clean drinking water, poor sanitation, a climate conducive to virus transmission, overcrowding, religious beliefs, open defecation, and ignorance of disease transmission are the primary causes of its rapid spread in India. Awareness of cholera control, the development of public restrooms, and the availability of vaccines are therefore crucial.
