Visit to Limbe

On Thursday Oct. 18, we also visited the lovely town of Limbe.  

We stopped by to see our friend Sandy, administrator at Hopital Bon Samaritan, to update her on what is happening in the Network, and to drop off some meds and supplies for the Hospital.  She says they have a surgical teams coming in the coming months, including OB, urology, and orthopedics.  

We also stopped by Hopital St. Jean, but the administrator was out of town.

We then met Dr. Richemond Jean Baptiste at his developing medical facility in "Ravine des Roches Limbe" called Hopital San Raphael of Ravine des Roches Limbe.  He wants to increase the services and the health education to the community.  He has training in community health.  They are currently open weekdays, and have several nice and well equipped examining rooms, lab and pharmacy (pictured), and plan to have specialty areas and an operating room in the future.  They charge a global 250 gourdes fee, but will reduce or waive it for those that cannot pay. He welcomes visiting teams to work with him, and has short and long term housing available.  

On the way back, we stopped by to see our friend Dr. Rodney Baptiste at the OMS clinic in Vaudreuil.  We updated him on Network activities and left some medication for their pharmacy from Americares and DRI.
