In June we treated 426 charity patients at the Lira Clinic.
Jemimah, our Programme Coordinator, has provided the following analysis and comment:
- 80% of those treated are 18 years or younger, 122 are 5 and under
- We had 63 referrals from the Lira Primary School
- The top two conditions treated were Malaria and Respiratory Tract Infection
- Women being treated for Malaria outnumber men by 2 to 1
- The average cost of treatment in June was UGX 28,613; equivalent to £8.75. In the majority of cases the patient was able to contribute the nominal fee of UGX 2,000 (61p) and Suubi Trust met the balance.
Our continued thanks to our hard working team in Lira and to all of our supporters here in the UK.
