Community Health Workers

 

As the clinic continues to expand and as funding becomes assured, local community health workers will be employed to help with daily observed treatment of immunizable diseases, particularly TB patients and deworming efforts. There are also plans to bring ophthalmologic surgeons in next year. While these surgeons can help with the goal, this health need remains in mid-list in terms of immediate life-threats. An outbreak of measles or meningitis could take hundreds of lives in a matter of weeks from Duk Payuel. Clinic doctors already do weekly surveillance and weekly reports to the Minister of Health on these diseases.

Duk Lost Boys Clinic

  Community health workers from Duk County receive immediate 

  acceptance and respect from the local villagers.
