The Staff: and Activities.
There were 17 Public Health staff members on the particular boat journey I went on; there was a boat crew of four, including a captain and a cook. The process for the local people was very well organized and thorough: education, diagnoses and prescriptions. Most would start through the maternal child care kiosk set up where babies were weighed, and checked for length. Education was presented on personal hygiene, how to breast feed and general information. If there was lab work they needed, they proceeded to the lab tech who did tests and shots right there. Some public health staff were busy finding records (brought on the boat) and updating records; others fulfilled prescriptions Two nurses provided medical consultations and wrote up prescriptions.
