Distribution to the cholera treatment facilities

This week has been a busy week for the network ground team. We received helicopters with lots of supplies to treat cholera, for example IVs and IV sets. We distributed them to the clinics on our list, for example Borgne Health Clinic, which has 5 or 6 patients per day, 25 in total, MSF and MSPP does support them but they call the network team when they don't have any more supplies. We have given them 14 boxes of IV, 4 boxes of gloves in each size 12 boxes in total, 5 vials 250 gm of ceftriaxone, etc.... At some of clinics the cholera rate has gone down because of the network team distributing some aquatabs and chlorox to the families and teaching them about cholera. The network team is making a big difference in Cap-Haitian as said from all of the cholera treatment facilities.  Juline
