Thanks, Jon. I really enjoy following your videoblog and find myself referring it to others. Good luck to you... this is an outstanding use of technology that both supports the good of a community as well as educates others around the world.

The Nata village videoblog, Episode 3: Nata clinic.http://natavillage.org
The Nata Clinic is responsible
for health care delivery to the 6,000 residents of Nata, Botswana and the surrounding
villages. More than 12,000 people rely on the services of the clinic.
The clinic also oversees the three remote health outposts of Maposa,
Manxotai, and Sepako. The outposts are reached by dirt/sand track
and the farthest is 36 miles away. The clinic is so busy that
it is often referred to as a hospital. The closest general hospital
is 60 miles away and the closest surgical hospital is 120 miles away.
The clinic consists of two main buildings. The 1st building has
two consultation rooms, one room for wound dressing changes, pharmacy,
and an office. The 2nd building consists of a 3 bed
ward, 2 bed delivery room and a 4 bed post delivery/recovery room.
There is also a trailer where the PMTCT (Prevention of Mother to Child
Transmission) Lay Counselor performs pre and post test counseling for
HIV/AIDS and the nurses collect blood for the CD4 (T-Cell) count of
HIV infected patients. The compound also has four houses where
some of the nurses live.
