Injesuti Clinic is the only government funded health care clinic in Loskop. The fact that the clinic has minimal supplies, and no assigned doctor does not seem to keep local citizens from coming. The wait to see a nurse or health care provider can last several hours. A local area doctor said that she estimates that 33% of all children born in this area die of AIDS within the first year of life.
		This nurse is the only care provider on duty today. It's a Saturday afternoon. She explains that Monday will be a very busy day, because that's when all the people injured over the weekend will arrive for care.

		Sometimes, the clinic cares for 300 people per day.
