From February—November, three days a week, the Ukarumpa Health Centre (UHC) goes to 12 different villages surrounding the Ukarumpa Center. On Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday each week, 2—3 UHC National staff and one RN from the SIL Clinic travel by car to a village anywhere from 10 min—to 1 hour away.
After set-up is complete, Hosea (UHC National staff) takes a “skel buk” (a book that records patient information) and writes down chief complaint and if there are any immunizations that the child needs.
Afterwards, the child and family member come and see me. The variable of shots I give can vary from zero up to five. In total there are eight different shots that can be given to any individual child based on past immunization records.
Sometimes the child needs medical attention rather than an immunization shot. Most of the time we give out antibiotics for pneumonia, Panadol (Tylenol) for pain or fevers, worm medicine, or we clean wounds, etc.
I thought I would share a few pics of what a typical village clinic experience was like.
Chronicles of a Traveling RN 
Makes me realize how much we take for granted in America! So thankful you are there to bless these people in such a great way.
What a blessing it must be to the villagers to see your truck arrive in their area. What a miracle they’re not forgotten and you find them! God bless your every effort, Josh!!
This really puts so much into perspective
