Birthing area

No privacy in giving birth. A thin wall with an open doorway separates the in-clinic patients from the mother giving birth. Children suffer from diarrheal illness from contaminated water, respiratory illnesses, and gastrointestinal parasites. They are given deworming medications during 1-5 years of age, but how successful this is and if it really helps is not known.
