We see on average 30+ patients a day especially Monday and Friday. We sell the medicines at affordable prices to the people and many come to buy medicines everyday including Saturday and Sunday.

Patients come with the following: (children, adolescent, adults)

Asthma
Tonsilitis
Diabetes
Arthritis
Tuberculosis (TB)
Parasites

Health Education and early intervention in illness prevents big hospital bills. We can treat most of the patients at home with supervision by the community health workers.
