18/03/2010 - Mobile clinics launced in Ilkilorit.

ICROSS public health teams are launching this week new mobile outreach clinics to Ilkilorit communities affected by two years of drought. ICROSS and Ministry of Health nurses will be working together in providing nutritional support, mother and child health and immunisation as well as primary care. This mobile outreach is planned to last 6 months until the Ministry of Health can secure nursing staff for Ilkilorit. The programme will be led by chief medical officer Sylvia. The first outreach clinic starts next week. Sarune Ole Lengeny, who had directed the development of Ilkilorit public health programmes was with community leaders this week planning the new mobile clinics. The official opening of the Ilkilorit clinic is scheduled for later this year. International Director Michael Meegan and the Country Director Danny Ngwiri, said that they're also hoping to provide solar power at the new clinic.
