rs. Nyaga called me early this morning because five patients showed signs of serious infections due to polluted water that they drank from a river in the area of Fescha, about 10 km away from our hospital. We immediately informed the health commission. Hopefully they check the situation there to prevent a larger breakout. We always advise the people to boil the water before drinking but often they don't have the money to buy the necessary wood. We did some first tests in our laboratory and should have more details by tomorow. At the same time I bought additional material to properly disinfect our staff.
