Mwanhala Clinic & Dispensary 2015 Update

There is a clinical officer, Mr Maguta, 2 nurse attendants (lovely ladies!) and 3 outreach workers. They see about half the pregnant mums in the village – some just don’t look for help and some go to Nzega. The clinic will soon be offering CTC support for people living with HIV.

Three strong new bikes for outreach work were purchased using funds sent previously that had got 'stuck' in the village account but were magically released !

Problems they see are:
Not enough space – no privacy for outpatients. No permanent water source – they use the local well, 2 km away. Transport problems – some mums deliver “on the way” to the clinic. The planned 'ambulance' will help here.

Positives: they save lives!
