Continuing the response of the Kurdish Red Crescent in combating the cholera epidemic; after the Health Authority in the self-Administration of North and East Syria announced its outbreak in many of its areas during the summer of 2022. The most prominent response efforts focused on by the WASH team in the Kurdish Red Crescent organization, through its partnership with medico international schweiz, were based on improving the quality of water monitoring services by providing the necessary support to the water laboratories of the General Directorate of Water in North and East Syria.

Recently, a four-day training course was conducted by the Medico team for the staff of the WASH department in the Kurdish Red Crescent and for the workers in the laboratories of the General Directorate of Water, in addition to conducting field visits to all the mentioned laboratories in preparation for supplying them with the necessary reagents and equipment in the near future.
