Caracol Clinic!

Djail Covsky and I have visited St-Elisabeth clinic in Caracol. The last time we came to the clinic they had a doctor, today we came back and there was not any doctor because Father Joseph could not afford the payments.


The clinic have a mobile clinic every week and they use the ambulance to travel o different communities.



Father Joseph had told us that they have an ambulance that is available for other people to use (other clinics, hospitals, etc.), but the only thing you to be aware of is the person requesting use has to have a driver and gas; it is available anytime to us.

They need and doxycycline and bactrim (antibiotics) are the two most important medications that they need at the clinic. They do have a cholera treatment center in Caracol and that cholera treatment center is receiving 1-5 people per day. MSPP are supporting them with cholera supplies. They have one nurse and two assistant nurses working there. The head nurse is Miss Martine.
