| Description | 330-PSA-47-63 (USN 711439): Cholera patients begin to recover after receiving special treatment introduced by Captain Phillips and his medical team. They await transfer to the convelesent ward in the Cho-Quan Hospital in the Saigon area. Master Caption: U.S. Medics Battle Cholera in Vietnam. For several weeks, U.S. military doctors and technicians, joined by several hundred native doctors, nurses, and medical students, have been waging an all out war on cholera in Vietnam. The epidemic has flared up in the Saigon-Cholon section, the Mekong-Delta region, and other outlying areas, it involves both the Vietnamese and the Viet Cong. Treatment of victims contacted during the critical first stage of the disease has been most effective, and death rate kept a very low level. Through immunization of 80 per cent of the population, the U.S.-Vietnamese medical teams hope to break the epidemic. Much of the success of the present battle against the disease is attributed to Navy Captain, Dr. Robert A. Phillips, and his staff of five technicians who have introduced an anti-cholera “cocktail” which was used with amazing results during last year’s epidemics in the Philippines an Korea. There has been no outbreak in the American community in Vietnam and every precaution is being taken to safeguard our servicemen and their dependents against the dreaded killer.
