Recent clinic visits

The Network Support Team visited 3 clinics today, two in Robillard and one in Grison-Garde.

Notre Dame de La Merci is in Robillard. The amount of cholera has gone down, they have 9 people in total. One of the nurses named Suze Jack said the reason the cholera went down is that they have 3 more nurses, 4 people going around the community educating people about the cholera, and they have more supplies from the network team and IOM.
Nurse Suze Jack asked for some more medications, cotton balls, tape, IV, IV set and HTH.

Dispensaire de Robillard
The clinic is open 5 days a week from 8 am-3 pm, they have 2 assistant nurses and no doctor. They receive about 20 people per day, the clinic does not have any cholera cases, when they do they transferred the people to Notre Dame de la Merci. The commeon sickness that accrued at the clinic is abdominal pains, cold, etc....
The clinic does not have a lab room but they  treat the people by their symptom.

The senator and Dr. Jasmin plan to have doctors, nurses and even partner with Dr.Ford to put an operation room in the clinic.
