Phase II

Phase II is the program implementation stage. Once the wards are completely built and stocked, and Agule has been promoted from the rank of clinic to that of hospital, the vision for community outreach and community involvement can be realized.

This phase includes the implementation of programs that will provide basic health education; HIV/AIDS testing, treating and counseling; hygiene and sanitation programs; and family planning initiatives (for a full list, see that handy 18-page document we mentioned earlier).

It also includes the creation and utilization of a health insurance scheme designed to benefit the townspeople, and a taxi service provided by the clinic as a means for generating some of the revenue necessary to become self-sustaining.
