Since the strong spread of the Delta variant on the sister island, the sixty staff members of the small hospital in Afareaitu are no longer enough. Patients on oxygen were installed in tents outside the establishment, in offices, in the caregivers’ rest room, etc.
Support, even moral …
Since last week, about twenty volunteers have already come forward. This is the case of Axel Rodriguez, a 20-year-old nursing student who comes on vacation or of Didier, he is a teacher and takes care of the telephone reception.
And then there is the “Jeunesse Rugby Moorea” team which provides moral support. She dropped by to drop off some cream puffs this morning. The only condition for giving a helping hand: having a complete vaccination schedule. Indeed, it is not a question of running a risk.

This outpouring of solidarity greatly affects caregivers. Volunteers are dispatched according to their skills and availability. Extra arms very appreciated in this period of great tension and when it is already a question of installing other tents in the small patio. Continuity of care for pathologies other than covid must also be ensured.
