302 people were treated from July to September 2023 at the Refuge Cities Network medical clinic sponsored by World Compassion Fellowship.  1260 Medications were distributed bringing comfort and possibly life saving health benefit to those being served.

In the 3rd quarter of the year, 302 patients visited the clinic of different ages and nationalities which is a high number compared to the last quarter. The main diagnosis among the patients were chronic diseases namely hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Followed by different types of upper respiratory tract infections, nutritional deficiencies especially among children and older women.

In the last few months, we had the pleasure to meet many wonderful people visiting from the US offering their help and support by working the clinic.

One day after finishing a consult with an older woman she started to cry.  She began explaining how grateful she is for the help she’s getting in the clinic.  She also shared how she prays for us to continue this amazing work that we’re doing.  This situation made me realize how we make a difference in people lives and may God give us the strength and courage to continue what we started.

There are some challenges at the clinic.

1- Our clinic lacks a special waiting area.

2- The limited time and personnel affect patient’s time inside the clinic when the average time for each consultation ranges from 7 to 10 minutes due to different factors.

3- There are only two health care providers in the clinic who are a doctor and an assistant. Other service providers such as pharmacists, lab technicians, nurses, social workers, psychologists etc. are needed.
