I woke up to tasty fresh fruit, toast, cereal, juice and coffee. My friend Jones came to get me with his cousin. Jones is a school director in Carrefour, about an hour or less from Port au Prince at a school where we have done a mobile clinic and will do more community based clinics. The area I was told only has one maternity hospital so limited access to medical care and needs for care are extensive. We went to Bernard Mevs trauma hospital, our meeting place, to pick others up who’ll help with mobile clinics. We headed to Sophia pharmacy, in Petionville, run by the family of the pharmacist Martin at Bernard Mevs. We discussed mobile clinics, plans, I gave him a list of medications and they will provide a quote for prices for mobile clinics. He agreed to help out with clinics and work on quote for medications. I’ve learned networking across the regions with individuals at all different levels in developing countries is part of the key to success. We headed to Epidor, a popular bakery with good food, to pick up lunch for carry out which consisted of pizza, pastries and bottled water. We headed back to Bernard Mevs to talk and make plans for mobile clinics. While meeting, I heard the loud screaming wales of a grieving companion over the passing of a young appearing man who I heard died of TB and HIV just days after being admitted. Interesting and disheartening to see such expressions of pain. When I asked an employee standing by why no one was attempting to comfort her as she just laid in corner near the middle of the hospital in distress, I was told this is a part of the process when someone dies. My friend Windy who died at age 26 from lymphoma had been in that room, where people who are terminal are reportedly sent about a month or two prior, not long before my arrival. It’s sad to reflect on such loss, especially knowing the heartache of those left behind to mourn. On the other hand, these are the elements that motivate me to do mobile clinics in places where people otherwise may not get care to alleviate some of their suffering, and ideally get them connected with further resources for treatment when needed. We continued planning, specifically to have the mobile clinics begin this week in a large inner city church and a school, next week a tented camp. The other goal is to do an additional mobile clinic at an orphanage we previously served in. These venues enable us to work with community leaders to provide relatively secure environments and promote safety. Mobile clinics operated through Global Mustard Seed Missions will be limited to these four types of venues in the future. That night, I went to dinner with a group from Bernard Mevs including my Dad. We went to the UN restaurant which is an open air place with big TVs where people go to socialize and eat. My Dad had a chicken gyro style sandwich and I had a mozzarella & tomato panini with plantains and RedBull. We headed back to the hospital after and then a driver took me back to the guesthouse.
