June 2007 Progress Report
The Medika Mamba program is working very well for the children enrolled in April, so many more children can be enrolled now. The next step is for the nurses to help each family to feed the children well when he or she is back to normal weight. Then we will need help from an agronomist to help the families grow the food they need.
Our partners from the First Presbyterian Church in Fort Smith, Arkansas, who installed the water purification system in February, are returning in September to install a similar system in Baniet, another village in Grand Colline south of Cherident. They will also survey two other sites. Two Louisiana churches are sponsoring water systems for two other villages in Grand Colline, and representatives from those churches will accompany Ruthie and Chris McCrea.
The clinic continues to grow with 77 new patients seen last month, in addition to returning patients. Fifteen women received prenatal care, and 48 children were vaccinated. Twenty-one patients with hypertension were treated. Before the opening of the clinic, hypertension could not be treated by the U.S. medical teams who provided care once or twice a year, because it requires ongoing care to be successful.The clinic is providing basic health care for people who had no regular access to physicians or nurses before.
