Cholera at Grow Project in the village of Soufriere

The cholera treatment unit at Soufriere, an isolated village in the Acul du Nord area, has 8 cases of cholera and is facing an urgent shortage of supplies. having proper supplies is particularly important there, since transportation to other cholera treatment units is very difficult. We gave Colas lactated ringers, IV sets and catheters, gloves, and a bit of soap for the staff. We appreciate their effort to keep in touch with everyone in Cap!
