Clinic Progress…
Wednesday, February 11th, 2009Sister Mary has continued to administer medicines and general checkups to kids and the women at both centers. The clinics are running smoothly. Both centers are visited twice a week as per arrangement. Mary has managed to see all the women in the just ended month of January. The most common complaint was that of Malaria, B/P which have been dealt with as we have enough drugs in stock! Sister Mary is also monitoring women with raised B/P, who are doing very well with NEFEDIPINE which we procured. The children, at our two centers have also been visited. Even those who were sick and were at home were visited and medication administered to them. The common ailment the kids have had are respiratory conditions (UR 71), which is the common with this rainy season. The nutritional status for most of the children has
greatly improved! Deworming has been done and at the right time when the kids needed protection after receiving the shoes. This will also help us deal with anemia problems. The addition of the Wiphan Clinic and Sister Mary have proved to be huge blessing for Wiphan orphans and widows!
Widows, orphans and Wiphan management are very grateful for Wiphan clinic. Medical issues are nolonger an issue. Because of the high levels of porverty amongst the widows and orphans, finding money to go to the clinic is such a GREAT CHALLENGE but thanks be to God that such a challenge has been taken care of by the Lord.
