Infrastructure now in place to deliver medicines to the local medical centre in Ilakaka.
In Ilakaka, there is one doctor for a population of 100,000, and his shelves are bare. He has given us a four-page list of what he needs to create a medical clinic fit for the population.
We have found a reliable medical supplier in Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar. Over the past months, we have been building the necessary infrastructure to transport medicine to Ilakaka regularly.
We delivered the first medical supplies – including antibiotics and basic medical equipment – to the local medical centre earlier in the year.
