Busier than Normal Sunday

ak. As Sundays are normally quieter at the Rhein-Valley Hospital, it was unusual to see so many patients today. Considering it is currently the short rain season and evenings of late have been rather cold, it is not suprising that there seems to be more cases of pneumonia and upper respiratory tract infections, especially amongst children. Although it is unfortunate to see that more people need care, it reassuring to know that these patients are a least receiving care. Prior to the RVH's existance, several of these patients could have died from such diseases which are otherwise easily treatable.
