Health Care

Health care remains a dire need for this village.  Because prescriptions are not required to get medications from pharmacies, many people take partial doses of antibiotics and anti-malarials, buying only the number of pills they can afford; this practice contributes to the growing problem of drug-resistant diseases.  To address such a systemic problem requires creating a clinic that will provide not only primary and preventive care, but widespread health education and ongoing training of health care personnel.  We hope to identify a partner organization that can work with us to create such a comprehensive health care facility.
