Cholera tents

In reviewing my posts, I realized that I had never included a picture of the cholera tents. In Jeremie, the tents are next to and on top of part of the city hospital. No cholera patients are allowed in the hospital itself. The tents are divided between the quarantine section and the "safe" area. Few are allowed in the quarantine area and when one comes out you must walk through a square container of chlorox and you are sprayed , front and back, with chlorox water. While the epidemic has leveled off, there are still new cases - and deaths - daily.
We have noticed that since the epidemic hit Jeremie, our number of pregnant women coming for prenatal care has reduced, as is the numbers of mothers with babies. Many are still very fearful of coming in contact with someone with cholera. We are trying to reverse this because now, more than any other time, pregnant women, babies and children need to stay as healthy as possible.
Well, this must be a record -- 2 posts in one day!! Take care. God bless. Mary Ann
