Business is Too Good

By Mitch Lewis | Executive Director

When we opened the free Children’s Clinic, our original mission was to provide treatment to Bamako’s 6,000 street children. As Bamako’s medically underserved IDP (Internally Displaced Persons) community heard about us they also reached out for our help. We now provide medical service to adults as well as children in the Faladje IDP Camp, as well as those in the Zantiguila Camp. As a small not for profit, receiving no funding from the government of Mali, sometimes business can be too good. The camps keep growing as more IDPs seek safety in Bamako. The downside is that at times our resources can be stretched a little thin. Following is an email we just received from our head physician.

“With the arrival of more displaced people from the north of the Faladjè site, we were able to consult the 58 patients who had come and each one received full treatment except for complicated cases. Among these consulted there were 5 pregnant patients, 1 case of suspected renal lithiasis, 1 case of abdominal mass in a 38-year-old woman, 1 case of dermatitis on the 2 cheeks of the lips and 5 cases of suspicion of severe malaria anemic form with an age of 6 years, 4 years, 2 years , 2 years and 10 years. We started with the interview of certain children at the request of the patenaries and ended around 3:00 p.m. And also to point out that there are running low on drugs to schedule more consultations. “

So we have increased our funding for antibiotics to treat this growing population. Yes, sometimes business can be too good.
