<strong>Sitrep</strong>: <strong>Wajir</strong> <strong>Emergency</strong> <strong>28</strong>/<strong>05</strong> <strong>–10</strong>/<strong>06</strong>/<strong>2001</strong><br />
Save the Children Situation Report:<br />
SFP supervisor, and no major issues or problems were reported. This<br />
supervisor, however, only oversees the Buna, Korondile, and Ajawa<br />
distributions, while the Bute distribution is under an additional<br />
supervisor.<br />
There were a substantial number of discharges in Buna and Korondile,<br />
while also some children defaulted. The number of new admissions<br />
remains low. These statistics are an indication of an improved<br />
nutritional situation.<br />

The enrolment has remained quite stable in Makaror, with 43 new<br />
admissions, 38 discharges, 1 death, and 4 defaulters. Thus, there was<br />
no net gain in the number of children in the programme. Enrolment in<br />
Wagberi, however, decreased considerably, with 79 children<br />
discharged from the programme and 6 children defaulting.<br />
Medical inputs continue from both the SC (UK) nurse and the AMA<br />
nurse. There is the continued issue, however, of the risk of becoming<br />
a parallel system in this setting. The search continues for a viable<br />
solution to this: Will providing medical services at the distribution site<br />
replace the presence of the district hospital – the same system that SC<br />
(UK) is trying to build its capacity? Given drug shortages, prohibitive<br />
costs, and long distances associated with the hospital, won’t the<br />
presence of such medical services at the distribution undermine the<br />
ability of the hospital to deliver adequate services?<br />
