We got a generator, fuel and a water purification system set up in the PAP house yesterday.

Today a 7 truck caravan left from Jimani brining food, water, medications, 3 nurses, 1 doctor and a host of support persons. This team will begin clinics in PAP this afternoon. This is a test to see if we can maintain order/safety while performing the clinics. I think the church we will be working out of will serve quite well and I'm not expecting any issues. The Jimani hospital team is working with a US physician to have a step down facility set up in his clinic. The idea there is to send non-critical patients there and build up the site to serve as an ongoing minor surgery center.

In the PAP clinics, I would expect to see infections, cuts, abrasions, malnutrition, etc. Any serious injuries (i.e. fractures) will be directed back to Jimani. I think the current needs list would be for items that meet these issues in addition to preparing for the infection issues that are inevitably going to arise.
