This pilot study was carried out based on a generic research protocol developed to assess retrospectively the negative health impact of climate change on diarrhoeal diseases with emphasis on cholera and capacity of health system to cope with the consequences. The generic protocol was prepared for WHO South-East Asia Regional Office (SEARO) as an agreement for performance of work with the National Institute of Cholera and Enteric Diseases, Kolkata (NICED) and extensively reviewed through an informal scientific consultation carried out in Kolkata (India). The present study was developed by the same team, with collaboration and funding from WHO Kobe Centre. NICED also gratefully acknowledge the support of the Department of Communicable Diseases, SEARO.
