According to Madam Moore, the health facility has been challenged for a while, noting that the Clinic has only three bed room and they can do three patients in one room.
“The clinic has only three bedrooms, we can put three patients in one room and it is challenging, most especially pregnant women, and women need privacy. So we decided to extend the building, even our materials we don’t have place to keep them”, she narrated.
She said the clinic can receive up to 75 patients a day and they are also challenged with the issue of drugs. She added that it is their partner, Christian Aid that assists them to mitigate the drugs nightmare every month.
“I am appealing to Farming Hotel and partners to come in to help us at least, because the medicine the people give can’t be sufficient. Most of the times when the drugs finish at the end of the day we will give the patients paper to go buy drugs outside”, she said.
