Last week, we were able to host a weeklong clinic outreach from our clinic facilities in Maphiveni. Visiting dentists, dental techs, specialist doctors, physiotherapists and general practitioners from private practice and the Ministry of Health all converged on the clinic to provide services to this impoverished and isolated region of Eswatini.
Many hundreds were helped with dental services, cervical cancer screening, HIV testing........
Kudvumisa Foundation:
JHPiego VMMC:
Rotary & Ministry of Health (MoH):
What was the cost? Nothing to the many hundreds who came every day for care. The actual value of services is still yet to be calculated.
Kudvumisa Foundation bore the cost of the facility. It cost roughly E2000 for electricity for the week of services. If there was a solar system for the facility, this money could have been saved and the money used for things like medicine and supplies.
This is E104000 for keeping the doors open for a year. This is about $7173/year depending on the exchange rate. How much better use of money if it could go to medical care versus lights? Please help us finish the solar installation for the clinic!
