Geography 1
NHRMC has endorsed national guidelines in order to provide health advice to young
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. The Australian drinking water guidelines have been
addressed for the communities to develop drinking water management plans (Jaravani, et al.
2017). It is made possible by supporting local drinking water managers to develop risk
management plans and custom as per the society.
The Cholera is caused by the young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander due to
drinking contaminated water. The social-determinant of health factor relevant to Cholera is
that some youngsters develop profuse watery diarrhoea with various type of dehydration.
People can even have mild or moderate diarrhoea along with the fever (Vos, et al. 2009).
People can develop profuse watery diarrhoea with stark dehydration. It can even lead to death
within hours if not treated. The dehydration caused by the Cholera can be treated with oral
rehydration solution, intravenous fluids and antibiotics.
