Over the last three days the clinic at Haiti Hospital Appeal of l’Hopital Convention Baptiste d’Haiti in Quatier Morin have started receiving their first cases of cholera. Equipped only to deal with day and limited overnight cases, they are currently acting as an interim centre to provide immediate rehydration before transporting the patients to Justinien Hospital.
The support team distributed some requested aid to them this morning. They have reported 9 suspected cases so far. The network will continue to provide support with the likely influx of cases.
