Clinic Visits West of Cap on Oct. 18, 2012

The Network Support Team and I visited some in and on the way to Limbe on Thursday Oct. 18.  

We first stopped by L'Acul Catholic Clinic and dropped off some medications for their pharmacy. 

Then we visited Eben Ezer Clinic in Haut Limbe, which has been in the Network for a long time, but which I have never had the chance to see.  We met the new administrator Henri Claude Robert and the nurse Isnemar Doravil.  We learned that they have 6-7 doctors, all supported by the one nurse, Isemar.  They are open 7 days and take urgencies, and end up seeing 23-60+ patients per day.  Henri, who has worked in the healthcare field in the US,  showed us the large pharmacy to support so many patient visits, and the Team dropped off some medications from DRI and Americares.  We explained what the Network has to offer to help support their work, and there was special interest in sending staff to do Helping Babies Breathe training.
