Health issues

Here the main issues are scabies. STI's, chest infections, ear infections and rheumatic heart disease. A lot of the work is also chronic disease management -diabetes, renal disease and cardiac.
Mental health is also an issue. Day 3 of my being here there was a near hanging. She was saved, flown down to Alice and is back in the community. Yesterday Julie, a mental health worker came to stay with me for 4 days.
They have many visiting specialists. We've had a diabetes educator, audiologists. This week, the physio and a cardiac educator and mental health worker. In a few weeks there will be podiatrist and ophthalmologist.Les mer
