Delivering medical services to all

This will offer immunizations and treatment of childhood diseases. They will manage the care for pregnant women in the region. The medical care professionals will operate emergency services for the local area.

People from across the region will be able to access tips on health care. Education and outreach are key components in improving the health of the indigent population. Having an active medical center gives the community a focal point from which they can access services.

Now more people will benefit from high-quality medical care. There are consultants and specialists able to diagnose ailments and prescribe medicine to the many men, women, and children of the region.

 

 

A message of gratitude for the medical staff at the new TCIF Medical Centre

The professional medical staff delivered their services with warmth and dedication. There was an outpouring of gratitude to the staff who ministered care.

 

People came out in droves to access the services available. With such expert medical care available there will hopefully be a reduction in the rates of early childhood diseases. With improved maternal care now readily available there should be an enhancement in the standard of living of some of the most vulnerable members of the community. It will transform and save the lives of those living in rural communities.
