Journalist for Christ International Outreach<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe\nCoordinator of the health and education on the camp said the hospital in the\ncamp which was donated by the German Embassy has also been starved of drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat they have\nin the clinic are just panadol and basic drugs. When people fall sick\nlike malaria, they don\u2019t have the capacity to treat them. The hospital has two\nnurses. These nurses can only do little if there are no drugs.\u201d He said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the past\nwhen residents on the camp fall sick, they were given a form by the National\nRefugee Commission which they fill. It is after filling the form that they are\nentitled to free treatment in the National Hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the form\naccording to him is no more. \u201cRight now, many are having malaria and are really\nhelpless. We are told the refugee commission does give the form again for free\ntreatment. I don\u2019t want to go near the sicks people in the camp because I don\u2019t\nknow what to do again. I can\u2019t stand their sight. My going will not make any\ndifference, there is nothing I can do.\u201d He lamented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yohanna\ndisclosed further that there has been a lot of pressure on residents. \u201cWe are\nhaving a challenging time. When people fall sick we have to contribute money\nfrom other residents to take care of them. There is no dedicated purse from\nwhere we can take money to take these people to the hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nHe, however, acknowledged the help rendered by the Catholic Church. \u201cThey have\nbeen very supportive. They have come here to do free surgeries and given money.\nWe hope that we are able to get the government and well-meaning individuals to\ncome to our help. The situation right now is troubling\u201d he lamented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On how help\ncould be rendered, he said, \u201cWe are not even asking for money. There are cases\nof sicknesses that are clearly beyond the clinic. We will appreciate if people\nwho want to support can link up with hospitals and pay directly to the hospital\nwhen residents of the camp go for treatment. We are also calling on the\ngovernment to pay attention to this camp before things get out of hand.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
