Summary edit

Description

A pharmacist in an International Medical Corps mobile health clinic dispenses medicine to a sick child in a remote village in Pakistan's Sindh province.

The UK government, through the Department for International Development, is supporting International Medical Corps' work in Pakistan to help thousands of people affected by the flooding that devastated the country in August 2010.

Many people have only recently been able to return to their communities as the flood waters recede, but many homes and infrastructure such as schools and medical facilities have damaged or destroyed. Mobile clinics such as those provided by International Medical Corps are providing vital basic health care, as well as an early warning scheme, looking out for signs of any outbreak of disease such as cholera or dissentry.
