Working Together for 14 Times the Impact
The registrar worked with pen and paper, the pharmacist with a few boxes of medications (supplied by WOW), and the nurse practitioner and medical officer examined and prescribed treatment with minimal equipment but great expertise and a loving touch. The volunteers brought in the critically ill patients from the streets. They knew there was risk each time they left the clinic to find the sick and the dying.

A Double Blessing
