Our 'workspace" at Kudjip is compact and well laid out. On one side of a long central walkway are the 4 inpatient wards and on the other side are the ER, Outpatient Clinic, Operating Room, and Central Supply. Ancillary services of X-Ray, Pharmacy, and Lab are nearby.
 |
| The long central walkway is usually filled with people but quiet on a Sunday afternoon! |
 |
| Clinic sign-in area. |
 |
| Not long afterwards, the patients begin to queue up. |
 |
| The Outpatient Clinic is open and airy with many exam rooms. |
 |
| In the clinic exam room with translator Sophy, nursing student Susan, and a patient. |
 |
| The large open ER has 4 beds on each side, a central area for larger procedures, and a cast area. Here, Dr. Jim Radcliffe is preparing to place a chest tube. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

 |
| Radiology is just one machine but the 2 techs, Junior and Mr. Lakawa, do excellent work! |
 |
| The Pharmacy is very well stocked - here, Jonah and Mia are preparing outpatient prescriptions. |
 |
| The Lab does basic testing and prepares blood for transfusion. Common tests include CBCs, malaria, HIV, liver function, kidney function, and urinalysis. A separate lab does CD4 counts for the AIDS patients. |
 |
| Chaplain John and several other chaplains minister to the patients spiritual needs. |
