Dispansè Kakòk

Given the lack of medical services available and the extremely poor health conditions of its residents, in 2002 we began building the Dispansè Kakok clinic.

Since its opening, between 30 and 50 patients are seen on a daily basis.

Medical Staff

common illnesses:

· Malaria
· Respiratory Illnesses
· Intestinal Parasites
· Fungi and Skin Illnesses
· Muscular Pains due to heavy loads
· Arthritis particularly in the neck due to heavy loads carried on the head.

Doctors and nurses who provide their services to the clinic are strictly on a volunteer basis.

Kakok has hired a permanent nursing assistant for the clinic, and is currently sponsoring a young local through nursing school.

The clinic also distributes contraceptives.

chronic illnesses:

· Hypertension
· Heart Ailments
· Infant Malnutrition due to lack of protein
