Today we had our first confirmed cholera patient. In the past few days there have been some suspected cases, and they were given oral rehydration and sent home. The person that came today had to enter the special cholera clinic and be hospitalized.
We are so thankful that there is a great organization here who is helping to oversee the cholera clinic and they are doing everything they can to prevent the spread of cholera to others here. Anyone who enters the cholera clinic area has their shoes sprayed with bleach water when they enter and leave and also they have to wash their hands when they enter and leave.
Thank you for joining with us as we pray that the spread of cholera would be contained and that those who get it would be treated quickly and recover fully.
