Nurses & Clinic Staff
Our clinic manager and administrator, Oda, is supported by our enrolled nurse, Esther, nurse aid and pharmacy nurse, Rose, and clinic receptionist, Eunice.
The team will treat on average 30 patients a day. During the wet season, when malaria is rife, the team can see up to 100 patients a day. The malaria testing, diagnosis and treatment provided is vital for the community, particularly for pregnant women, children under 5 and the elderly, who are the most vulnerable.
The team also treat minor ailments and injuries, in particular anaemia, malnutrition, respiratory infections, parasites and skin conditions; as well as providing monitoring and treatment for high blood pressure and blood sugar levels.
When necessary, the team will refer patients to a secondary care unit. The nurses are well respected for their excellent clinical assessment skills, which is essential for accurate diagnosis, providing the appropriate treatment and onward referrals.
