March 2013
The following report is based on information from Doctor Hla Tun, who also supplied the photographs.
The Bagan Clinic treated an amazing 3,013 patients in March 2013, bringing the total number of treatments since the Clinic opened on 6th August 2011 to 52,863.
Over 80% of the patients travel distances between 30 km and 150 km to reach the Free Clinic at Bagan. A few patients travel between 150 km and 170 km to attend! For this reason, a free lunch is provided for patients.
Some of the more notable conditions presenting in March included:-
This elderly lady was referred to hospital with a dislocated hip. The clinic made a donation for the necessary transportation and accommodation.
This young girl suffered from stiffness of the right hand. After being treated twice in the Bagan Clinic, she could passively move her right hand with assistance from her left hand.
This 10 year old girl suffers from Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura and needs to be treated with fresh blood transfusion every 3 to 4 weeks. For a single transfusion, her parents need around 50 US Dollars for transportation, fee and hospitalization and the necessary blood tests prior to transfusion. The clinic made a donation to the girl's mother for blood transfusion. The clinic can directly provide medication for vitamin, minerals and liver support.
