Lutherien Clinic

Lutherien clinic is located in Madeline,Cap-Haitien. the clinic has 1 nurse but no doctor, 1 lab technician, and 1 staff working in the pharmacy. They received about 3oo patients per month, open five days a week Monday-Friday from 7:30am - 2:00pm, there was a doctor name Sherly ever since the chrolera outbrake she left the clinic, Pastor Eliona is in process of finding a doctor for the clinic. The pastor is losing most of his patients because the people of the community do not want a nurse to do consultation for them, charge of consultation is 50 gourdes without medications include. It depend on what kind of medication for the patients to be charge because the clinic buy their own medication for the pharmacy to stay in function, if the medication are donated they do not charge their patients. Lutherien clinic is not partnering with any organizations only the Lutherien church from the states send medical team every year, when they do come they see 500 people in one week. Pastor Eliona is adding a new part to the clinic for X-ray, Dental and a observation room but it is not completed because the pastor does not have any fund.
