 | Outpatient Clinic | |
The people of Mkasanga Village, the local health authority and the Tafika Fund combined efforts to build an outpatient clinic in Mkasanga.
Mr. Harah, the Medical Officer appointed by the health authority, opened the clinic March 2006. He was carried lock, stock and barrel from his home 110 kilometers away by 8 bicycles, which were sent by village headmen to collect him since the roads were still inaccessible to cars due to the rains.
It is wonderful for the village to have medical assistance close at hand after so many years of relying on the limited medical knowledge at Tafika. We are planning on extending the facilities to include inpatient and maternity wings as soon as funds become available. The Budget for the remaining work is US$60,000.
