Rama Rao Nadendla, MPharm, PhD, FIC, President, ISPOR India-Amaravati Regional Chapter

There was a sudden outbreak of Cholera due to drinking water contamination through municipality pipelines in Guntur district during the period 09/03/18 to 20/03/18. Around 220 patients residing in and around Guntur region who had been consuming municipality water had experienced symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and dehydration, which led to further complication such as acute renal failure. Medical personnel attenders discovered that patients had been consuming municipality water contaminated with drainage runoff and the pipes were degraded. The physicians and paramedical team along with a PharmD (Doctor of Pharmacy) from the ISPOR India Amaravathi regional chapter, Chalaapthi Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences attended and contributed their services to the victims and applied primary care management interventions. The majority of the patients have experienced recovery. The healthcare team suggested that there should be a system in place to identify breaches in pipelines and regular monitoring of sanitation to prevent the recurrence of such incidents.
