Here is the cholera center. There is a fence across to separate it from the day clinic. By the tent to the right, there is a small walk through gate for patients to enter. Joseph, Nerlange, and Gene man this post. Upon first arriving, patients are put in the white hospital tent for triage and observation. When we are sure that they are sick with cholera, we move them inside, but if they are do not show cholera symptoms, they are sent home. It can take as little as 5 seconds to several hours to determine this.


Julia, our hospital supervisor is training in Hannah. Hannah is working today.


This room is for the almost recovered patients. All of these electric beds actually work!


These two nurses came for interviews this morning. Since another nurse didn't show, we asked them to go ahead and stay. Neither are very experienced. Dr. Alexis is watching to see how good she is at starting an IV.


Ray is making beds with holes in. This is so we can put a bucket underneath the hole to catch the diarrhea.



If you know any RN's, or LPN's that could come and help it would be great. Contact the Home Office at 517-287-4007 or ifm-hdr@juno.com for scheduling.
