Just over 43 years ago, January , 1978 , the concept of running a FREE MEDICAL CLINIC was born . This was based on the many medical needs of the patients . A lot of our elderly people were dying prematurely , due to lack of Medical Management . Many children & adults needed urgent attention . Amongst the leaders of our organization were a number of Doctors
Behind this urgent need , was the feeling , deep down spiritually , that it was no use talking about LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER , if we cannot SHOW THAT LOVE IN A TANGIBLE MANNER . Having this concept , many families came forward to offer their help .
Mr. Michael Brown volunteered his premises at 29 Mahoe Drive . That was January 1978 . . We later moved to the Residence of Mr. Sydney Bepat , 52 Grassquit Glade by August , 1978. Finally , January 1982 , we got permission from ‘SIR’ Henry Jaghai , to use the premises at 10 Henderson Avenue , off Waltham Park Road . Here we have been able to see & treat over 5,000 patients over the past. 40 years .
Doctors , U.W.I Medical Students in their Final Year , Nurses , Pharmacists , Pharmaceutical Companies , Community Leaders , all jumped in to assist in some way to see success . The type of patients included those with Non-Communicable diseases such as Diabetes , Hypertension , Overweight , Arthritis , Peptic Ulcer , Heart Failure , Asthma , Malnutrition , Worms , & Common Infections .
Due to COVID-19 , we have halted after the first few months of 2021 . We hope that with proper total island vaccines made compulsory ( mandatory ) with few exceptions – that our number of deaths will be reduced . Then we can safely resume . We have offered Educational Programs , & assistance to take our interested members to the Sites for vaccinations.
ALL THE WEALTH IN THE WORLD , CANNOT BE ENJOYED WITHOUT HEALTH : All the superficial joys of the world , can quickly be changed with illness & felt deep down in our souls . Be watchful & thankful day by day , moment by moment to see the good beyond the bad , & to smile & laugh to make a change.
MAHATMA GANDHI : “ You must be the change you wish to see in the world “.
