Last time, we took Koffi to CNHU hospital. The reason why he went there is
that he had stomachache and diarrhea. He was too weak.
There, we saw men and women dressed in all white. People call them
doctors and nurses. We went to the doctor’s office. The doctor examined
Koffi and asked him if he had eaten any sweets the night before. Koffi said
no and added that he had drunk water from the well. The doctor asked him if
he had filtered or boiled it before drinking. He said no. The doctor
advised him to boil or filter dirty water before drinking it. The doctor
added that we must respect the rules of hygiene such as washing our hands
before eating and after using a toilet, boiling or filtering dirty water
before drinking it, drinking clean water, brushing our teeth twice a
day….. After that, he gave our mother a list of drugs to buy at the
drugstore. We then returned home.
