More Vaccines Finally Arrive

Written by Samia Omar

Saturday 20 June, 2009

We were delighted this afternoon to receive more doses of vaccinations from the Ministry of Health. Unfortunately the vaccines came in in the late afternoon after closing the clinic in Ilgele where almost 20 children were not given immunizations. Ilgele was very busy today as the team camped near the local well where many were easily able to congregate. We returned to the area after many locals were absent last week having gone to seek relief food.

Taking advantage of the large group, Beatrice and Lochudang had a session on body hygiene, environment hygiene and safe water. They later attended to 7 antenatal cases using the mobile examination tent (pictured in the background below) and 29 patients. We are very keen to return next week and be able to provide immunizations as well.
