Visiting clinics


Am going to the remote clinics with Dr. Lindner (SOP Director) and Dr. Mike (here from New Zealand.) The patients are mostly on antiretroviral treatment - many also have tuberculosis. The clinics are full of very sick people, including children. The place was packed. People have to walk miles, and miles (over the most ridiculous mountain terrain… up, down, up down… I don’t think I could get up one of those hills without being spent… and I am healthy.)
