General Health Care
The clinic is also used to provide some primary health care, in particular care of the chronically sick such as people with HIV Aids and diabetes. We hope soon to use it also to train outreach healthworkers for neighbouring villages. It is also the centre for a range of small projects run by volunteers, including:
- free school breakfasts and dinners, accompanied by body mass index (BMI) monitoring, for children under five;
- the distribution of mosquito nets for babies under two and their families;
- administration of a hardship fund for the very old or sick and newborn babies;
- a ringworm eradication programme.
When the clinic is officially registered, it will be handed over to Ghanaian doctors and nurses who will take full responsibility for it.
