The Brownback Clinic is serving patients
 suffering from malaria, STDs, respiratory infections,
snake bites and gunshot wounds.  

The health care workers have been there
to aid women giving birth
and to tend to small children who are ill.

While they do not have the resources to handle
every medical situation, they have been able to offer
a sense of hope and comfort
which did not exist before.

Left:  People wait in the shade of the open air portion of the clinic for their turn to receive medical attention.  Mouseover:  Patients pick up medications at the clinic's pharmacy window.

Right:  A young girl had been bitten by a snake.  Her mother had just given birth to another baby, but she walked through the night to get her daughter
to the clinic.  The rotting flesh smelled of gangrene, and all Chris Garang could do was bathe the wound, administer amoxicillin and advise the mother to take her to the hospital in Wau.  Some weeks later, news
arrived that the girl was doing well.  Mouseover to see closeup of wound.
