The purpose of this technical note is to provide health professionals in United Nations agencies, nongovernmental organizations, donor agencies and local authorities working with populations affected by emergencies with up-to-date technical guidance on the major communicable disease threats faced by the flood-affected population in Nepal.The endemic and epidemic-prone diseases indicated have been selected on the basis of the burden of
morbidity, mortality and epidemic potential in the area, as previously documented by WHO.The prevention and control of communicable diseases represent a significant challenge to those providing health-care services in this evolving situation. It is hoped that this technical note will facilitate the coordination of activities to control communicable diseases between all agencies working among the populations currently affected by the crisis.
