Binh Phuoc Clinic

Our second clinic site is in Binh Phuoc, on the border of Cambodia. It was a 7 hours bus ride from Ben Tre, so we arrived at 3:30 PM. We had a very quick lunch, unloaded the trucks nd did a survey of the facilities to organize a clinic space with proper work flow. As opposed to Ben Tre, this clinic site is at a main reception hall attached to our hotel. It takes some vision to evaluate the space. We decided to build a make shift medical room from plywood and curtains for patient privacy, a few tables for intake and interviews, another side area with pharmacy and the entire back of the hall for prosthetics. This makes for a challenging workflow to say the least as well as some difficult noise to perform all our functions. This is, however, the way most clinic sites have to work out. We make the best of it for the betterment of our patients.
