Monthly notes
The New Clinic Building was brought into use on 14th February 2014 as a temporary Physiotherapy Unit until the building of a permanent Physiotherapy Unit is completed. The majority of patients attending can benefit from physiotherapy, having suffered strokes, joint pains and muscular pains. Treatments include Infra Red, Ultrasound, Traction Machine, Electric Massage and Handrails for patients with walking difficulty.

Building work has already started on a permanent Physiotherapy Unit building near the original Clinic building. The building has been donated by a United Kingdom Travel Company and their clients.

Few of the patients treated are from the local area. The majority of patients have to travel distances up to 250km. This means that most patients need to stay in the Monastery Compound for one or two nights. On clinic days, shelter is also needed by patients waiting for attention. The United Kingdom Travel Company and their clients mentioned above have also funded the building of a new Accommodation Shelter.
