| Description | 330-PSA-204-63 (USN 711363): Miss Rosemary L. Flores, A Filipina nurse, marks a cholera patient’s improvement on his chart. Cholera strikes in the Philippines annually between June and September. Photograph released September 24, 1963. Master Caption: Manila, Republic of Philippines. Armed with a new method for cholera treatment and upon invitation from the Philippine government, U.S. Navy Medical Research Unit TWO recently moved into Manila’s San Lazaro hospital to help Filipino doctors combat cholera. The disease strikes hardest in the Philippines during the rainy season – June through September – when many water supplies become polluted by torrential rains. The medical team began their assistance in 1962. The 14-man unit, under Captain Robert A. Phillips, (MC), USN, is based at Taipei, Taiwan. This is their fourth visit to San Lazaro. Since their initial visit, the cholera fatality has dropped from 17 percent to two percent. Last year, the researchers began battling cholera with an oral treatment rather than intravenous injections. In doing so, they eliminated some of the disadvantages and more complicated methods of replacing vital body fluid. Not only is the unit noted for combating cholera in the Philippines, Thailand, Taiwan, Borneo, and Malaya, but also for their valuable research of trachoma, Japanese encephalitis and other infectious far eastern diseases. The team was commissioned in November 1957 and has been under the constant leadership of Dr. Phillips. (2015/10/20). |
