Clinic

The Maternal and Child center provides immunizations and growth monitoring for babies. Nutrition counseling is offered and malnourished children are given ready-to-eat feeding supplements known as Plumpy Nut. Prenatal checks for pregnant women are provided as well as midwife-assisted deliveries. Culturally acceptable family planning services are also provided.

The general clinic serves patients suffering from a wide range of conditions with skin infections, malaria, intestinal diseases, heart disease, and diabetes being the most common. Most care is provided by the nursing staff with referrals to the doctor. Poverty, ignorance, and reluctance to seek professional health care prevent many people from coming to our facility until late in their illnesses, so it can prove challenging to provide the care they need for healing.

The clinic also offers an eye clinic. Many common eye illnesses are seen and treated. Cataract patients are seen and diagnosed and surgery is performed when visiting surgical teams come to Danja.

Chaplains are part of the interdisciplinary team praying for patients and staff and sharing the Gospel. They also facilitate the showing of the Jesus Film while patients are in the waiting room. These pastors also travel on outreach visits to nearby communities to follow up on contacts made at the health center.
