Clinic has water at last!

Staff at the Ibosa medical clinic are overjoyed to have water on tap, thanks to a new tank installed by World Vision.
They spoke of the irony of trying to educate new mothers about nutrition and hygiene in the past, in a clinic that had no water!

“Mothers have been giving birth here, without water. Even the delivery room had no water. Can you imagine what was happening in terms of hygiene? I can’t tell you how good it is to have water here for the clinic and patients to use,” the clinic’s midwife says.
