The Bagan Clinic treated 5,337 patients in August 2013, bringing the total number of treatments since the Clinic opened on 6th August 2011 to 75,229.
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.

In the picture below, taken in front of the Bagan Clinic, patients are queuing to be served lunch by Monks. Local donors have provided blue plastic drinking water bottles for use by the Patients - you can see these under the green awning on the right of the picture.
The majority of Patients have travelled anything from 50 to 200 km to attend the Clinic. This is why lunches are provided with the help of the Monks.
