Visit to Robillard

Just visited Robillard Clinic where they have been having a bad cholera situation and needed supplies. Just posted at our new experimental inventory system at caphealthnetwork.org/inventory--under the details tab is the visit.

They have 29 people with cholera last week, right now there are 14 left.

Yesterday MSF came and gave 140 ivs but that's not enough because they keep receiving ppl. 10 cases could use 140 ivs so they need more. We gave some and need to be vigilant about supplying more. The nurse taking care of all patients says she needs help.
She isn't getting get paid for anything (she is voluntary) since October. Don't want to think about how the cholera situation in the community would be without her...
