March 24 Hai An Medical Station under construction

This was an old medical station which was seriously degraded and could no longer be maintained. Also with just 2 rooms and 6 patient beds, it could not meet the health care needs of the local people.


DOVE approved funding for a new building which you see in the pictures. It will soon be finished.

On our visit, everyone was very leery of the dangerous conditions for Gary...with uneven ground, mud, gravel and piles of building materials. I knew he could negotiate all that...but was more worried about keeping him away from the concrete mixer.

Note the rough sticks that they use for scaffolding...don't let L & I see that!
