Temporarily Shifting Patient Care During Clinic Renovation

In order to have the least disruption to patient care, 40 SOT people including medical staff, pieceworkers and grade 11 and 12 boys on school break, moved the entire clinic in a nine-hour period on Friday, Sept. 2nd. The endeavor began at 7am with instructions and banana bread. Everyone broke for lunch at 1pm for nshima and chicken and the entire outpatient clinic was shifted into half of the 12-bed new facility by 4pm!

The 12 Bed Inpatient Building

Construction has just been completed on a 12-bed inpatient

facility and the building cleaned and freshly painted on the inside. The outside still needs painted, but it was decided to paint the entire medical complex at the same time once the clinic renovation is complete. Since the new large building was empty, it was decided to move the entire clinic into the new building in order to maintain patient care without disruption. Once renovations are complete, the outpatient clinic will return to its original structure, leaving the 12 bed inpatient facility, 6-bed maternity building and freestanding lab all comprising the SOT medical complex.
