A medical mission not well.

The board stands as the reminder of an unwell medical mission
Paul achen showed us the building structure for a medical clinic. It was non functional now - because there was no doctor to run it. There are also living quarters for doctors to stay, but doctors apparently don't find serving at a remote place like this worth their time.

This remote area, this tribal belt, could use the services of a doctor - I think the nearest established hospital is still quite far away. Rambachen and achen are looking out for medical professionals who can come and spend a few months there and help set up everything.

But amidst this, there also is hope. When I was visiting there, a person came to meet Rambachen and

Medical mission Attapadi
we had lunch together. Later Rambachen introduced us to him - he was one of the children at the Balabhavan - he had just come back after finishing his MBBS. He may need to go back for further residency etc, but Rambachen was hopeful he could stay back and help set everything up. Rambachen spoke of the time when they were trying to get him admission, how God had worked and guided them, how he had gotten through and how finally they now had a doctor in their midst. Praise be to God! Lets hope the medical mission in Attapadi is resurrected once again.
