After a brief visit home to see our families for the holidays, we have arrived back at the clinic. We were greeted by a visiting team which included Julian Hertz, the original Global Health Fellow! In our absence, the other NGO in Thomassique, World Vision, provided the clinic with several new nurses for the cholera ward. The staff and Julian continued with prevention activities and delivered soap, water treatment tabs and ORS to homes in the most affected areas. After peaking with around 50 patients in the cholera ward in late December, the numbers have decreased substantially, and we now have around 15 patients.
Since arriving, we've jumped right back into all our projects and responsibilities. To give you an idea of what our days are like here, we documented our activities this Saturday (granted, it turned out to be slightly crazier weekend than usual...but not by much!). Enjoy!
