Ongoing distribution of cholera treatment supplies and general medical supplies

I am glad to say since Christmas we have seen a significant drop in the number of cholera cases throughout the north and north east regions.

We have continued to distribute many supplies from various donor organisations, but with more focus on general medications which are in great need in many of our member facilities. Direct Relief International and AmeriCares have provided the network with a large quantity of these medications.

We are still distributing cholera supplies but on a much smaller scale. For example, Centre Medical Social in Soufriere collected 120 litres of lactated ringer solution, IV kits and gloves as MSF has just finished supporting them and they are still seeing 8-10 patients a day. The majority of these cholera supplies have come from JPHRO and Bahamas Habitat.

Given the down scaling of this work we have more capacity to visit each facility and deliver these supplies in person, as well as giving us the opportunity to see the facilities operating and to meet the staff. Hannah Steadman
