Here are a few stories of patients seen in the clinic

The following information is true.. just not here in the United States. I want to share with you and take a moment ro thank God how lucky we all are.. how lucky we are for our circumstances in life, even if they are not great, I guarentee that they are better than this.. I am helping a nurse in Uganda who runs a small rural clinic. I have been helping him with the clinic web page and getting things set up so that he can be seen, so that the clinic can operate with transparency, funds can be raised in the US under a 501c3, and he can operate the clinic with more stability than it currently has. The clinic has been in place for five years. It is located in Jinga, Uganda. It sees between 15-25 patients a day. It has the ability to have a few patients admitted but not a large number. The clinic is lucky that they have been able to purchase the building and the land. They are also blessed that they occasionally have volunteers from the United States and Canada, but most volunteers end up assisting at the orphanage that is also on the same grounds. This  clinic is the only one near by and the only one that does not require payment upfront. I want to share this.. It would only take between $250-350 for the clinic to be fully stocked with medical supplies ( not including some of the larger equipment that they are requesting) on a monthly basis, so this clinic is not looking to raise thousands of dollars every month, they are looking to raise a much smaller amount. I can not imagine how horrible this would be, to have the knowledge to help my fellow members of the community, to have the skills, but have to stand by helplessly and do nothing..


I have not corrected the stories to make them easier to read, so please excuse them, this is English as a second language, but I think it is more poignant as it is,"

1.Kasimu is a baby boy aged 5years old who is a total orphan and was brought to our Mafubira community clinic by his poor grand mother, he was just been circumcised badly by a moslem local man and the bleeding was to much.I referred them urgently to a better hospital because i thought i could not help them.When they reached at the better hospital,they were asked to deposit a sum of money before they could attend to them because this was the hospital system.The poor old woman had only the transport which she used to come back to me.She strongly believed i could stop the bleeding and faithfully i sutured the boy and the bleeding stopped.Thanks be to God. 

2.Janet is a poor widow who was left behind with 4orphans.This poor lady is also infected by the hiv/aids.She stays in a mud house which is critical conditions,she was cut by an iron sheet on the temporal bone and the cut extended near the face behind the mastoid bone of the ear,the injury involved many blood vessels and the bleeding was much.The poor woman didn't have any single penny to go to a hospital.She came running with blood all over the face to our Mafubira community clinic for help.I arrested the hemorrhage by suturing the bleeding blood vessels and sutured the wound and dressed it. The lady has improved very fast and she is now very happy.I am proud to help the helpless.

3.Henry was an orphan,7years old, who lost his father due to Aids,his mother was tested positive also.He was brought convulsing by the mother at mafubira community clinic,she was running and screaming the whole road,and the crowd was following her.He had strong fits and high fever.Because of poverty the poor mother could not even afford a quicker transport.By the time she arrived the boy was gasping and when i looked in the drug shelf only to find there was no medicine to stimulate the heart of the poor young man,i could neither connect the oxygen nor resuscitate this poor Henry because of lack of enough medical supplies at the mafubira community clinic.The young man died due to insufficiency of medical supplies. ."
