It was a long day...

We have been working since the morning of local time, that is from around 4:00 am Polish time to around 11:00 pm Polish time.

Not everything went as planned, but it was a very good day after all. Dr. Seizbek examined 370 children and adults that primary school in At-Bashi. Unfortunately, it turned out that one of the adults showed changes typical for echinococcosis and was referred for treatment, and one child is suspected of the disease and was referred for further diagnosis.

Dr Kubanychbek conducted a parasitological training, and Dr. Daniel, despite large obstacles, organized a temporary operating room and performed the first treatments. During the break, in anticipation of the missing medicines, we spontaneously conducted an educational campaign in the center of the village. Dr Karolina and Monika met with children at school, where as part of the summary of many months of preparation they handed out educational bags containing 7 principles of protection against echinococcosis. Our bags were enthusiastic!!

We can not fail to mention the meeting with the great guys from Poland. 6000km from home fate put our team on our path Hitchhiking around the world and Hitchhiking At the End of the World - thanks for the day together.
