Today we signed up a new clinic with the Network! The clinic at Grison-Garde is very nice and has been in operation for 8 months, fully funded by the MSPP. They have a lab room, but no equipment, so they can't run all the tests. They are looking for help with this. Since they are newcomers to the area, they are looking for more help to develop the clinic. As of now, they have two doctors and two nurses on site. They see about 160 patients per month, with the numbers steadily increasing. Their charges for consultation are only 25 gds, and medication prices vary depending on what the patient can afford. The clinic buys their own medications, and they are hoping that the Network will be able to help them make medicine more affordable for their patients. They are not sponsored by or partnered with any other organizations, and working solely with the MSPP.
We delivered materials here and then went to Robillard to deliver more supplies, including Americares supplies and materials from DRI.
Earlier this week, we delivered materials to the MSPP to prevent a possible cholera outbreak at Grand Prison. We supplied them with soaps and disinfectants, and it was a great show of increased collaboration and quick response to sudden urgent need, especially in the continued fight against cholera.
We also visited the hospital in Fort Liberte, in the North-East department, and delivered many supplies to several other clinics along the way on Monday. Overall, a very productive week for the Network Team!
