The team was ready early for a full day of medical work. We began our day arriving in Majaoni at 8:00am.
We were greeted very kindly by old friends and new faces. Since we had so many practitioners seeing patients (7 US, 5 Kenyan), we were able to see over 450 patients today. The main health issues seen today were pretty standard, having seen them each year during these medical camps. The conditions include respiratory illnesses, lower GI, fungal skin infections, dehydration, hip & back pain, and headaches. Everyone worked so hard to provide quality care in our basic medical camp we set up at the school. The practitioners worked so well together, consulting with each other, teaching one another, and providing encouragement and laughter throughout the day.
The pharmacy was managed well by Katie and a few Kenyan pharmacy professionals. As you can see, there was was actually downtime this year. We are not used to that, as the pharmacy is usually the busiest place to be!
