BUILDING PROJECT

From mid 2006 till about May 2007, a building in Wamena was renovated from being an unfinished girls' dormitory to become usable as a medical facility. 

It now has two exam rooms, a pharmacy, a lab, an emergency/procedure room (three beds or so), and two overnight rooms (with two beds each). 

Currently, the clinic is being used although there are projects to be completed. 

Running water has been plumbed for the exam rooms, lab, and procedure rooms, electricity has been  installed by the local electrical company (including poles to the building)- however, the  power is very unstable and in the evenings the power isn't strong enough to run the medical equipment.

Most cabinetry for each room is completed, exam tables have been purchased or built, and furnishings and office supplies for the receptionist/front office purchased.

Already, it seems that the clinic has outgrown its building and there is a search for land to build a larger facility.  The building in use right now is a rental.
