Children's Hospital

Hello friends and family!  To conclude the first half of our trip, we visited the Queen Sirikit National Institute of Child Health (QSNICH), a hospital that provides health services to children up to age 18.  We had the opportunity to learn about two infectious diseases transmitted by mosquitoes, Dengue Fever and Malaria.   

This is a poster that describes ways to prevent the spread of Dengue Fever (by limiting sources of still water around the home).

We also had the opportunity to tour one of the wards and review three patient cases with one of the doctors.  This is an example of one of the wards. 

Here we are outside one of the wards (pictured from left to right: Nicole, Kim, Kristy, and Alison)!
