February 2013
The following report is based on information from Doctor Hla Tun, who also supplied the photographs.
The Bagan Clinic treated 2713 patients in February 2013, bringing the total number of treatments since the Clinic opened on 6th August 2011 to 49,850. Some of the more unusual conditions presenting included:-
This 30 year old patient first came to the clinic on 22nd February 2013 from her village about 17 km south of Bagan with severe memory loss. For ten months she had been unable to name her children or recognise neighbours. Happily, following treatment, she returned to the clinic on the 8th March, able to respond to any question and name her three children and their ages.
Most patients have had to travel to reach the clinic, sometimes considerable distances. With the co-operation of the local Monastery and the 'Road to Mandalay' ship, a free lunch is served to waiting patients.
This 12 year old boy was diagnosed with congenital hyperlipidemia. The clinic treated him with cholesterol-lowering agents but he was referred to hospital for further management of the condition.
A four year old boy had a congenital hernia with hypospasdias (an abnormally placed urinary meatus). This boy was referred to hospital for surgery.
In a number of cases, the clinic donated funds to poor patients for transport and accommodation where hospitalisation was necessary.
