Today the medical team moved to Bayerebon No. 5 , a village within the Bibiani area, with an average population of about 1,000 people including children. Two other surrounding villages; Bayerebon No.1&2 and Bayerebon No.3 with populations of about 300 and 800 respectively, also attended the medical outreach at Bayerebon No.5 village in their numbers.
