fpmpam sarawak medical camp 2.3
TRANSCRIPT
The 2nd Camp was at Kg Serikin, about 4 Km from the Indonesian border.Our logistic partners found a large multi-purpose hall about a basketball size, set next to the Sunday Market ( you can see the empty stalls where the banners are hung.
This large hall was more than adequate. Our logistic partner even has wheelchairs on standby. It was used a few times
The interesting decision was to set the dental clinic on a stage at one side of the large multi-purpose hall.To provide privacy, we had to use some cloth to form a curtain. Our Impian volunteers were quite imaginative
The Ophthalmologist requested for a dark roomSo we set him on the omnly room at one end of the hall, using curtains to make it dark. The Snellen’s chart was also in that room so we had to use portable lamps.
They came in large numbersWe saw 176 patients from 1-5pm then 7-10pmThe GP sees them first and then refer if necessary
GP hard a work.They worked the hardest.Food in the background for anyone hungry as meal time was unpredictable.
