Emerging Game Plan for the Clinic
The one-room facility of Ocan Community Clinic, part of a 9-room dilapidated dry goods store, treated over 1,250 patients in its first 12 months of operation. Demand for high quality high volume service has become self-evident.
Thanks to generous donor response in 2009 to the resettlement health needs of the peasant community of Opac Village, OCHAN received sufficient resources to begin restructuring the entire building that houses the clinic. This renovation will expand health services in the next several months particularly in the area of maternal/child services, a major need voiced by the women of the village. Other services will include the following: inpatient care, limited surgical procedures, a diagnostic laboratory, pediatric care (notably childhood vaccinations), counseling for victims of war trauma and latest treatment regimens for HIV/AIDS. Below you will find the following: picture of OCHAN’s construction team; floor plans for A) an onsite core house for the in-charge medical officer, and (B) the restructured clinic. Mr. Alfred Angel prepared and will implement these plans.
