# Mobile health clinic

> A clinic on wheels that brings a nurse, a doctor, and basic medicine to villages two hours from the nearest hospital.

- Goal: $120,000
- Raised: $96,080 (80 %)
- Donors: 1,180
- Time left: 227 days left

In the valley villages, the nearest hospital is two hours away by bus, and the bus runs twice a day. A fever, a cut that will not heal, or a blood pressure check means a lost day of work and money most families do not have.

## Why it matters

Small health problems left alone become emergencies. A diabetic who cannot get a check-up loses sight. A child's ear infection becomes hearing loss. Most of these problems are cheap and simple to treat when someone sees them early.

The mobile clinic brings the care to the people. A nurse and a doctor visit each village every two weeks, on a published schedule, with medicine, test kits, and a private room in the van.

The goal pays for the second year of the clinic: staff, medicine, fuel, and the van's upkeep. We publish the number of patients seen every month on this page.

Patients pay nothing. Nobody is asked for papers or proof of income.
