Yikes, what a difference humidity makes. It’s still around the same temperature as it’s been all week, but with the rains predicted any day now, the humidity is kicking in and it’s uncomfortable for me. Haz seems acclimatised.

Spent the morning at the clinic shelving and recording the drugs and equipment that had been delivered earlier in the week from the Zambian health department and generally getting everything off the floor onto the shelves. The clinic is pretty well stocked in some areas - definitely have a surplus of condoms, surgical gloves, and 5ml syringes but Haz and the nurses (who are outstanding) still struggle as there’s not enough of some of the most used drugs; today she didn’t have the drugs to treat syphilis and bilharzia.
