Up to today Sunday Oct 24 ,

There is no referred case of cholera at the
Hospital in Pignon. We have prepared a building
to receive in quarantine any eventual referral
and this building is not on the Hospital compound ,
to avoid any possible contamination of other patients.

We are equipping ourselves with adequate IV Fluid to
overcome dehydration of potential affected patients.
We continue to praise the Lord while we continue
to exercise extensive and aggressive education of all our
personnel and patients for their preparedness to deal
with this cholera crisis in case it shows up in our
catchment area .

God Bless

Cholera outbreak Letter from Dr Guy

Please Keep The people of Haiti in your prayers
the following is a letter from Dr Guy in regards
to the Cholera outbreak


There is an outbreak of Cholera in Haiti ,
mainly localized in the Artibonite are , around St Marc ,
Grande Saline and even cases are noticed around Mirebalais.

They are cases already around Mirebalais hospitalized at Cange.
Until proven otherwise , it seems that the water from
Artibonite River starting in Dominican Republic ,
passing via Mirebalais , Cange , St Marc
could be the source of the infection with cholera.

We are already taking strong educational and preventive
measures through our personal at the Hospital in Pignon and thru
our scattered health agents in our catchment area.

We know that the main measures of prevention starts
with good hygiene , frequent washings of the hands ,
avoiding fish coming from Artibonite river
, cleaning vegetables with chlorinated water .
Have plenty of intravenous fluid available and Tetracycline
as first antibiotics. Rotarian Gary Marcellin of Verrettes
and Mario Bellevue from Mirebalais
, keep us informed , please.
We keep in close touch.
