Well we had a website but even the study staff didn’t use it much. I guess we were not even sure how to manage digital space ! However there was an article in the newspaper that said the Mass Drug Administration of Praziquantel in school children had killed 4 kids. Our study was testing for Bilharzia in school children and when we arrived at one school the villagers had gathered to ask us about the drug. We explained to them that it was the Ministry of Health that was running that programme and we were testing only and not treating. It was an eventful day for us because we had never handled such and issues before. We did not go and develop an issues management plan thought, I guess we were also a bit blank about handling issues.
