Guardians and patients queueing for treatment
February was another busy month at Comfort Clinics. Overall, we treated 5,672 patients, which is a 5% increase over January. The majority of the patients were in our Out-Patient Department (3,838). The number of Upper Respiratory Infections surpassed the number of Malaria cases – this is a typical occurrence as the rainy season progresses. The following list outlines where most of the cases were:
770 cases of Upper Respiratory Infections
611 cases of Malaria (5 years & Over)
546 cases of Malaria (Under 5 years)
333 cases of Skin Conditions
265 cases of Diarrhoea (Under 5 years)
252 cases of Acute Respiratory Infections (Under 5 years)
