Preparing to deworm the school children

rs. As we get our next medication delivery next week, doctor Wanjara and myself controlled our stock. As it is weekend and two nurses are absent, the doctor takes also care of the patients in between. Our male nurse John will only come late afternoon because he will be in charge for the weekend guarding shift in the night. Still in stock is a large amount of deworming syrup so Wanjara proposed that we go to the schools during the next two weeks to deworm the children. Better to do some prophylaxis than to wait and treat them afterwards. These medications are much more expensive.
