CTC at Robillard

We just visited Notre Dame de la Merci at Robillard, which has a cholera treatment unit (CTU, a smaller version of the CTC, or cholera treatment center) that has been hit hard with cases from the surrounding area (mostly communes of Acul du Nord, Plaine du Nord, Milot). The cholera burden was less at this point from a high a few weeks ago. We talked to Dr Carroll, an American internal medicine/emergency doctor, with decades of experience in Haiti, who is at the clinic for two weeks. The clinic and CTU was well stocked and organized, and had a full load of patients with other conditions.
