A mother brought her baby to the gate Friday afternoon, saying she needed a nurse to look at it. It sounded like it had a rash of some sort on it’s neck. Shana went out to see how serious it was, and came back, saying they should probably check it out. The clinic had been closed for […]

It’s been a while since we told you about the lady with the foot injury (See story here: A Ministry of Love) and we thought you’d like to see the improvement! She comes faithfully, each day, to have her foot rewrapped. It’s still not the most pleasant duty for the nurses to do, but they (just as

Dear supporters, Thanks so much to everyone that has been praying for the cholera situation here. God answers prayers, doesn’t He? So far we have had no other cases come into the clinic, and we are indeed grateful for that! Hopefully the two cases we had last week were a isolated incident, and not the

Often we have very strange and extreme cases coming into the clinic, but I don’t think there has been one this bad in the recent past, that I can remember… Yesterday this poor lady came into the clinic with two serious ear infections: so serious, the skin was literally rotting off and her ear canals

On Sunday we received a request to do a house call for an elderly lady. They said she was having shortness of breath and chest pain, so Anita, Virginia and Brieanna went to check things out. So, off we trekked down the riverbed to find her house… Thankfully, the riverbed was dry, even though we’ve

Yesterday we had a post about the little baby girl who hadn’t eaten for 15 days; several hours after she came in, we decided she needed to go out to the hospital in town. She had stabilized and we felt it would be better for her to be in the hospital. So, yesterday when Michael
