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.
