5. Guidance and counselling – available for chronic conditions that affect the pyscho-social domain of an individual. 

With your help, we hope to expand the clinic to support… 

1. Health Education – currently, health advice and education is provided at consultation, including scope of tests and treatments. Future plans would involve establishing a Community-Based Organization focused on health educations via schools and public engagement initiatives. 

2. Selected Specialist Services –  this vision would host specific days on which specialists attend to conditions beyond general expertise. e.g. ophthalmology, orthopedics and traumatology, & dental services.

3. Patient Capacity/Admissions – expanding current inpatient capacity of 2 beds would reduce waiting times and establish an infrastructure strong enough to support a greater number of patients.
