Government Run Hospital, Jodhpur

Team members Sophie (Physiotherapist) and Cassie (Occupational Therapist) undertook a vocational visit to a government run hospital to exchange thoughts, ideas and experiences relating to their respective vocations.  Cramped overcrowded wards, a distinct lack of hygiene and old fashioned equipment highlighted the serious lack of funds available to provide a satisfactory level of healthcare to financially strained patients.  One neuro-surgical ward was, however, markedly better than the remainder of the hospital due to a charitable donation from a Rotarian in Jodphur.
