OUR MISSION
To ensure that clients attending the Clinic feel safe, supported, and empowered in their health concerns, and are cared for by compassionate, happy, knowledgeable, and high-skilled staff who will always make the health and well-being of the client their priority.
​
To ensure that clients have an individualised plan for their care, made in partnership with Clinic staff.
​
OUR FUNDING
Initially funded through philanthropic grants, and now supported by international charitable organisations and NGOs, the Clinic is aiming for the clinical services to be self-sufficient within two years, based on small fees in the Emergency Room, Laboratory, and Pharmacy. This will allow the Clinic to continue to provide on-going subsidized medical care and treatment to the poorest rural populations, alongside the general clinical operations.
​
The Clinic will, however, continue to run specific outreach and pilot programmes for which grants and sponsorship are welcome.
