Before it's construction, patients were forced to travel more than 20 Kilometers to get medical assistance. Death of both Mother and Children during child birth has droped significantly.
Outbreaks can now be attended and contained faster with less fatality.
Several Doctors and Nursers have been employed, an ambulance has also been purchased. Health education to the community is now been provided regulary, which before was a very rare occasion.
