Goodbye to the old clinic

Earlier in the year our team were looking forward to visitng the clinic that NEEDEP had set up.

It was doing useful work, but in a far from ideal environment which the leadership agreed did not reflect the standards that are needed.

The somewhat dark and cramped entrance lobby lead into a room with a couple of beds, a table and chair.

No glass in the window and for post-operative care,  a good scrub with disinfectant would be in order.

Not quite sure what we have here. Medicines, yes. Rubber gloves, radio, exercise book, fish head? Is this where operations are carried out?   

We did meet a couple of people down from the provinces who had had their appendices taken out.  Both appeared to be doing well.  The clinic is continuing to run, but no longer under the name of NEEDEP, who are hoping to establish a new teaching health centre in the new building.
