A trip toward the DR

Today Djailcovsky and I went along the read to the DR and made two visits to growing clinics that were new contacts for the Network.  Find the full details on the "Details" tab at the Inventory page of the website

In Ferrier:  Beraaca Clinic

They have school, ophanage, church, and clinic all together!
They are making a bigger pharmacy.
The diseases seemed to be a pretty standard mix with some variations.  They mentioned vaginal infection and typhoid were particularly bad.  But very little cholera!




Malfety (by ft liberte) 7-1 visit

This is a growing clinic:  Father Tiyou built a large, brand new clinic that will begin being used soon.

An interesting approach to malnutrition:  they show relatives how to mix an enriched milk paste.
