Most facilities are very inadequate according to those in Europe, or the United States.
Imagine -
a hospital without windows or screens
Too many people in one room
Patients laying on bare floors
Medication and supplies are ordered as needed - a patient may wait days before being treated
Mosquitoes in rooms - causing more sickness
low pay for nurses ($50 month is excellent)
Low pay for Doctors
No treatment unless person has money up front - and very few do
It really is difficult to wrap our minds around how little treatment and care these people receive, but it is the best those without money can do, and those hope some relief aid will be provided. Otherwise, they stay home and suffer and do what they can to improve their situation, without medical care or medicines.
Your contribution can help provide some medical care, medicine, dental care - and it does not cost that much. Some hospitals charge $100 per day plus doctor fee and medicines; some are as low as $50 per day plus Doctor and medicine.
We continue to search for best facilities, best doctors, and best care for those we can help. It is through your contributions that Compassion Care can increase the numbers being given care.
