notes: Re: Emergency RFA: JanMakout, Bombardopoulis Wednesday, January 26, 2011 7:08 AM From: "Jim Wilson, MD" To: "Haiti Epidemic Advisory System" <haiti-epidemic-advisory-system@googlegroups.com> Update from the same partner: "I have now talked to Chandra from IMC. They will visit again and reassess and are aware of situation. They said that some of the volume may be due to difficulties discharging treated patients and lack of housing for accompanying people. IOM will work on providing nonmedical WASH supplies, ringers, and perhaps contract a boat or truck for ambulance."

In JanMakout they found a crisis situation characterized as follows: A makeshift CTU in a school tent presently with 34 cases One auxiliary is entire medical staff, with some volunteers Multiple members of families at the CTU often sharing same cot or floor space. Uninfected children in same space. General state of fear in community including fear of fishing in the bay, cancellation of school, some houses abandoned, volunteers fearing to handle patients Ringers supply down to 4 to 6 cases. Catheters limited. Minimal chlorine products. No phone or electronic communication. Physician for commune visits occasionally but is overwhelmed at Bombard hospital. Current drinking water source brackish surface pool. IOM visited patients, visited 750 people in homes for sensibilization, and distributed soap, aquatabs and ORS.
