Operating under difficult conditions, a 13-member AKU team at Osta Mohammed is operating an outpatient clinic and emergency room as well as visiting IDP camps further afield, treating hundreds of patients each day.
On their arrival in the area, the team’s first task was to operationalise the Labour Hospital. The 50-bed facility was opened in 2000 but ceased activities the very next year; it has remained inactive since. The AKU team was able to establish an outpatient clinic and emergency room at the site and although there is still no electricity, they are treating 400 outpatients a day.
