The Clinic will be managed by Betty, the wife of Pastor Sula, Betty is a well qualified nurse, having spent a number of years working in the Adjumani goverment at a hospital in Northern Uganda. Betty has now completed her Advanced Nursing diploma with distinction and is keen to have the clinic open for business. The clinic has been built and supported exclusively by African Action International, Australia. The aim of the Clinic is to provide nutritional products and medical drugs to treat the many illnesses suffered by the people such as Typhoid, Malaria, HIV/AIDS, Sickle Cell Anemia, Viral and Bacterial illnesses thereby reducing the death rate in the community. They have to incorporate a Diagnostic Laboratory in order to test for Malaria and typhoid. People often fail to get help because they cannot afford this testing process or the medication and therefore suffer and die needlessly. Support and teaching for women during pregnancy, birthing and child care will be another focus of this clinic. We also want to provide nutritonal supplements for malnourished people. Betty and Pastor Sula have a vision to also reach out to people suffering from terminal illnesses in the Magere community, to medicate, counsel and share the gospel of Christ Jesus with them. This is a great vision and is worthy of our support! The clinic has received funding and hopes to provide medicines and staff for the first 12 months. It is hoped that in the future a mobile clinic will operate from the Magere Clinic to reach remote areas.
