Statistics were gathered between January-May 2017 from the Triloka Community Health Clinic and between July 2016-April 2017 from the Maternity Clinic, detailing the total number of consultations, percent of diagnosed cases per disease, and total numbers for mother and child health. Overall, there has been a stark increase in the number of diagnosed cases of scabies in Triloka and surrounding communities between in 2017, with an even larger increase in cases from 2016 to 2017. FLD looks to address this major outbreak of scabies throughout Timor-Leste through a mass treatment and prevention campaign, set to begin in Triloka in late 2017.
