Today, we learnt and taught each other about Dengue fever and Leptospirosis. The incidence of these diseases will likely increase in the period following the current flood so it's important that we're able to educate people in affected areas. With some excellent group work, I gave a small presentation about some strategies to prevent the spread of Dengue fever. Which is funny because despite my best efforts, the mosquitoes here are loving me and my arm is aching from them.

I also did a home visit (and sat in on a follow up hospital appointment) for patients who have recently had amputations because of diabetes related vasculopathy. The onset of complications of non-communicable diseases seems to be quite early.

The weather is continuing, with a new tropical depression TD16F merging with TD14F and now a high chance it will become a tropical cyclone. However it is not likely to make landfall but the associated heavy rain will worsen flood conditions. Tomorrow, supplies will arrive from Suva so we can start distributing them to those in need of assistance.
