Calaba Town Clinic Opens

When the Calaba Town Clinic opened this morning at nine o'clock, there were some 180 people waiting for services in the compound.

Over the course of the next ten hours, staff and volunteers saw 350 patients suffering from every complaint imaginable. Malnutrition, infection, pregnancy, rashes, high blood pressure and diabetes are only a few of the conditions diagnosed today.

The need for this clinic is so great that there were still 60 individuals waiting to be seen when the clinic closed at 7 p.m. They have been given appointments for later this week.

Technical difficulties prevent me from bringing you images at the moment, but I will upload them as soon as possible.

The hour is late and I want to upload this quick post before the power goes out again.

Thanks to everyone whose generous support has made today possible. The Calaba Town Clinic is providing vital services to its community … we are making a difference.
