Purchase a microscope for the Karin Clinic

Thanks for your support. Simon and Moses now have reason to smile again

Ever since we received a microscope, the laboratory unit staff have regained their work.  Laboratory support along with other infrastructural facilities are an important determinant influencing the utilization of health services. Ensuring basic laboratory services at PHCs not only improves the quality of medical care but is also capable of creating a greater demand for essential drugs at the facility. This, in turn, can improve the potential of the PHC as a center providing primary health care.

Thank you
