Day 4 Kubang Pasu

With the dengue fogging team

Group leader Govinda Ram Prema Suhanya seem to be having fun

Oooh..

I found them cool

Visit to the paddy muzium in our spare time...

Hemodialysis patient were comfortable at the center after many years

We arrived at the office at 830 as usual but to our dismay most of the officers were in an important meeting so we found our privileges around the vicinity limited. However, the all so kind En. Hussain from Day 1 managed to hook us up with the hemodialysis team of the clinic.

There we were told to wear only their sterile slippers and enter. In it, we were greeted by En. Raman, a technician at the center. Mr. Raman educated us on how the dialysis machine works. It does not look as simple as it looks haha. The patients there receiving their newly cleaned blood were all cheerful and all new each other as they have routinely bumped into each other for many years. It’s wonderful how they appreciated these magical machines from Germany.

During our lunch break we took a quick tour to the Paddy Muzium which illustrated the long history of the Paddy industry in Kedah.

After lunch we met with En. Johari PKAK Bahagian Vektor. He endowed us with loads of useful information on vector borne diseases such as dengue, malaria, chikungunya and filariasis. Mr. Johari was really enthusiastic in his teaching which was proven by a scary session of questions to recall our memory on his lecture. Thankfully we managed to hold it together and answer most of them.

Later in the evening, we divided our group to 5 each to follow the vector disease team on a fogging journey at 2 separate locations. The first left for Jasmine Rice Factory and the second to a boarding school. Both of which had new case of dengue. There we were taught all on the fogging process, and some of us were lucky enough to fog around the places.

That’s it for now, hope to hear from y’all soon. Good Night and Good Luck!
