Tough Day - Everyone is Tired

Today was a tougher day - probably for all of us - we have been gone for a week - we are tired and we are all pushing.

Today we went to Missungwi District Hospital - met with the Dstrict Medical Officer and started data collection.

The coolest thing today was sitting in the District Medical Officers office - one on one trying to put the logistics for the data collection together for the next week - when we switched to the outbreak - I gave him a Outbreak Investigation 101 training and quickly created case data collection forms and a summary table for him and put them on his compuer and printed out some copies - within 30 minutes he had gone into the wards and started collecting data from the cases and had called his colleugues in other health facilities where there are more sick patients and has encouraged them to use the same collection forms.
