GOOD INFORMATION MAKES FOR GOOD DECISIONS.

To make good decisions, you need good information. Nowhere is this more true than in public health. If you want to rid a country of cholera, you need to know exactly who has the disease and where they are located. And since cholera is often caused by bad water, you must also find their water source.

If you can get precise information like this, chances are you can fix the disease. Send a team to source a clean water point, for example, and bring medication to those infected. If you can’t get good information, how can you fix the disease? It is extremely challenging, requiring hazardous guesswork in the worst cases.
