April 2013
The Bagan Clinic treated 2,061 patients in April 2013, bringing the total number of treatments since the Clinic opened on 6th August 2011 to 54,924.
Many patients have to set off very early in the day (or even the previous day, sleeping overnight in the Monastery compound), to register for treatment. For this reason, a free lunch is provided for patients and, in the afternoon, waiting patients can often be found sleeping near the clinic.

This lady had a painful abdomen after drinking or taking small amounts of food. The clinic treated her with Vitamins and Amino Acid and, because she was poor, donated money for referral to hospital where immediate surgery was performed, allowing her to eat and drink.
This 40 year old lady had suffered from a swollen, painful right knee joint for more than a year. She was referred to hospital for further management and the clinic made a donation for transportation and accommodation.
