Into the Rural!

Hey everybody! Im at the ACTS clinic now!! Its so pretty completely in the middle of nowhere and surrounded by pretty countryside! Here has a much more relaxed approach to life than the busyness of JoBurg! Is lovely here! The people are very friendly! Have got a nice room on site, and am cooking for myself which is ok! (: have a timetable for the week so I know where I'm going & what I'm doing! No internet connection in my room though so posts may be rare!!

Spent yesterday in different aspects of the clinic. Saw the screening process for new patients, which seems rigerous but has to be done. Patients can only be on one programme at one clinic, and here can only take on HIV+ patients so it seems tough but its just the rules! Some patients just hop from clinic to clinic so they are trying to prevent that. I then spent some time with the testers, and results are 3-5 mins!! Its brilliant! I spent the afternoon in follow up appointments.

Today I am with the OT this am, and a Dr this pm! Just seen a monkey on the roof!! Haha crazy! Will post again whenever I can!
