altThe 2011 WHA 64.15 resolution “Cholera mechanisms for control and prevention” requested the WHO Director-General to revitalize the Global Task Force for Cholera Control (GTFCC) and to strengthen WHO’s work in this area, including improved collaboration and coordination among relevant WHO departments and other relevant stakeholders. A revitalization process has been initiated in December 2012 and completed in early 2014. Terms of Reference have been agreed and are accessible below. The first meeting of the revitalized GTFCC has taken place in June 2014 to finalize membership and priorities.
