Child Health in the Caribbean

Today we got off to a late start after a miscommunication about how we were going to get lunch, but no harm was done and we all ate well. After a long bumpy ride into what translates to The “Grand River North” we arrived at the one major hospitol in the area. We had an orientation meeting with some staff and physicians of the Grand River North Hospital. We ate lunch fairly quickly, then had a half hour ride out to “The Beautiful Hole” (English from Creole) and met with the health committee of that area. We toured their small facility and headed back to Grand River North for a tour of the large hospital. The highlight of my day was being unable to communicate with a small child but making him smile and engaging him in a game of peek-a-boo, slightly modified to keep his interest of course
