Medical Room

After the intake process, patients are escorted to a medical waiting area where they will await orthopedic illness evaluation. The majority of our patients suffer from orthopedic illnesses due to malnutrition and hard labor. Many of these patients are farmers, fisherman and laborers who work long days, lift heavy materials, spend a great deal of time bending over and carrying goods to sell to support their family. They present to us with years of pain and suffering, yet with no good medical care to seek for a cure. Lumbar bone spurs, sciatica, cervical compressions, osteoarthritis etc... are a just few of the common disease we see on a daily basis. By a thorough physical exam, along with x-rays for some patients, our team assists Bac Si Ha with the diagnosis, treatment and prescribing of medications. In addition, our team provides intramuscular injections of B-12 and corticosteroids. Proper training and safety is required to effectively provide these injections under direct supervision.
