Fifty sets of External Fixators were delivered to the above hospital. These are used on amputees so they can accept artificial limbs at a later date.

At the time of delivery we met up with Dr. Bhavani Pasupothyrajah to get an update on the present situation.

The number of patients were down to a 1000 on that day. However she mentioned that the disease pattern had changed completely. She reported types of encephalitis, respiratory infections and a few cases of meningitis. This calls for different types of medicines and she has supplied ACT with a new list of required medicines. We at ACT, are currently purchasing these medicines under advisement of Professor Sheriffdeen. Some should be delivered this Sunday.
