This is a very poor analogy. The UN's role in Haiti was in no way analgous to a doctor "operating" on the country. The UN did not adequately manage the waste products from their own mission. This camp in Mirablais dumped their waste into the nearest waterway. The CDC has confirmed that this was the source of the cholera epidemic.[0] When soldiers at the camp began showing cholera symptoms, the UN continued to pump sewage into the river. By contrast, considering the presence of pipes pouring sewage from the MINUSTAH camp to the stream, the rapid dissemination of the disease in Meille and downstream, and the probable contamination of prisoners by the stream water, we believe that Meille River acted as the vector of cholera during the first days of the epidemic by carrying sufficient concentrations of the bacterium to induce cholera in persons who drank it. Unlike a patient who recovers from a successful surgical procedure, it's difficult to make the case that the UN improved the situation in Haiti.[1] [0] http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/17/7/11-0059_article.htm#discussion http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/17/7/11-0059_article.htm#di...
