New Nurse’s Station is Also a Clinic!

 

>

Our volunteers and the school staff, under the direction of Nurse Del Rodrigquez have organized and equipped a nurse’s office at the ABC Divine Foundation Primary School. The children will now get immediate medical attention right there on campus! It is almost completed.

 

 

The volunteers painted the interior walls and the school carpenter is making the furniture for the 2 bed facility. There will be a reception area, an office and a sick bay (click on image below for enlarged sketch).

 

The Baylor College of Medicine Children’s Foundation will be providing a medical team that will test all the children and their families for HIV, give them treatment for as long as they live, and organize peer support groups—all free of charge, subsidized by the Bristol-Meyers drug company.

 

Our nurse will have special training to treat patients as well as to offer blood tests and other clinical support to the surrounding village. We will have a supervising doctor that will be on call for special emergencies.
