There are four nurses, four health agents and a basic pharmacy with no Lab and no Doctors. We informed them of the upcoming arrival of Floating Doctors, and explained how they can help the clinic. We also discussed how we can help them access the Albendazole program as they currently only give it out as treatment.
They are running five days a week Monday to Friday from 8:AM to 2:PM and they receive 120 to 180 patients a month. They are also registered with the MSPP.
Cholera at Camp-Louise Clinic
They've received 20 patients in total since the epidemic started in Haiti, but they don't keep patients over night they give them the first aid and refer them to the nearest CTC, in Limbe, and the patient's family are responsible for the transportation expenses. There have been no deaths at their clinic at all. They would benefit from having more ORS In stock.
Water Situation
The clinic that has a bucket with a little filter to purify the water that an Organisation gave them but they forgot the name. There is one well with a hand pump at the clinic. The population estimation of Camp-Louise is 5,800 people with more than 20 wells, all with hand pumps, but the one near the clinic and the church I've been told is the one that is used most. We will ask the floating Doctors to investigate options to help purify the water for the community.
