Orom Medical outreach
Last Thursday Yotkom sent its first team out to Orom a small town about 1 and a half hours drive from Kitgum. There are about 30,000 people in this area but no doctor. There is a small govt. clinic run by a nurse but supplies and services are limited. Now that we have our own vehicle for transport we are hoping to take a health team to Orom every Thursday. We will do this as a 3 month trial initially. We are renting a small local building for this medical outreach and taking our own staff and medical supplies. Our team consists of a doctor and or a clinical officer, nurse, laboratory technician, admin assistant and driver. There is a small fee for service as this is the only way we can cover our costs and make this clinic sustainable.
Last week our staff saw about 90 patients. Andrew was very tired after a 12 hour day. Some referrals were also made. One mother , after seeing the team last week, brought her child to the Yotkom clinic in Kitgum for treatment as advised. This 1 year old little girl had a bone infection in her L leg and the resulting weakness in the bone had caused the bone to fracture. The child was unable to weight bear on this leg and there was some resulting shortening of the leg. This was diagnosed on x-ray at our Yotkom facility. The child has been admitted as an inpatient for treatment and hopefully the infection will respond to antibiotic treatment and allow the bone to heal. Our orthopaedic clinical officer James has a lot of expertise in this area and we have been thankful to have him join our staff recently.
