Medical campaign

On Thursday 8th June the medical team installed a mobile clinic in Las Rosales in the Chancheria. It was a surprisingly hot day, and even hotter after putting up all the tents, locating the clinic instalations and fetching more chairs from neighbours.
It was a busy day and we attended 109 patients, 82 in medicine and 27 dental. As usual the patients and others accompanying them received health talks and bible teaching whilst waiting for their medicines. The children listened to stories, coloured bible scenes and learnt how to brush their teeth.













This one little girl was very keen to be weighed and then didn't want to get off the scales!
















Later I caught her washing her hands and splashing water on her face due to the heat.
