notes: 1/4/11- Lpar Note: Although we do not even know if this Dispensaire is open, I have put it as responding to cholera to make it fall in the correct list. Will adjust that at a later time if necessary. --------------------------------------------------- 1/3/11 Email from Dr. Charmaine Lewis I have never met an auxiliary nurse at the CdS-Cornillon. (This is a MSPP health center, by the way, not supported by an NGO.) In my 30+ visits to my site over 6 years, passing the CdS-Cornillon every time, I have never seen it open. As far as I know, they are not treating any cholera patients there. We would love for them to start a CTU there, and our Haitian Medical Director, Dr. Leopold Bourgouin, has been appealing to the MSPP to start something there, since we feel that the 4+ hour walk from Cornillon (the village) to us is too much for a cholera patient, not to mention the patients who live on the other side of Cornillon. ---------------------------------------------- 1/3/11 Email from Dr. Charmaine from Centre de Sante St. Vincent de Paul We are hearing that there are many more community deaths down the mountain (between Thomazeau and Cornillon the village) -- which is too far for us to reach as far as cholera is concerned. We've requested that the MSPP set up a CTU at least at their Centre de Sante de Cornillon, more centrally located, but have not heard. They do not staff this CdS routinely, deferring to us for probably 95%+ of the region's medical care. We have our community health workers out and about trying to help as much as possible. But it's 60,000 people, 2 doctors, and 10 CHWs. It's not enough. We're lucky we haven't seen more cases. Perhaps our remoteness has been a blessing in some ways. I believe the typical staff there is an auxiliary nurse and occasionally a resident doing a year of social service. The resident usually also comes up to our facility to rotate (the the CdS Cornillon sees like <50 pts per month, and we are seeing about 900 a month, not including cholera these days). -> 1/29/11 HEAS Post from MSF Belgium 1/29/11 HEAS Post from MS Belgium MSF Belgium was yesterday in Cornillon and St Vincent de Paul. Tomorrow we will start to support the hospital in St Vincent de Paul with more material and we will prepare 2 small CTU's in the 2 areas were the cases from last week are coming from (Palmas and Marturrein). Cornillon: the cases are mainly from an area named Bouchon, on the road to Cornillon. The number of cases is decreasing now as the pick seems to occur last week. In Cornillon there is not CTU.
