The History of St. Peter's Clinic
The diocese has
opened a diocesan clinic in 2005 for the service of the poor and vulnerable
people living in the town of Pathein. The clinic has been running with own
little resources and donations that the diocese can contribute. During Nagis
Cyclone in 2008, the clinic was of great service to the cyclone affected
victims reaching out the affected villages. Health talks on personal hygiene
and seasonal diseases are given to the village community.
This diocesan
clinic is now staffed with 2 doctors and 3 nurses located in St.Peter’s
Cathedral compound. Open daily in the morning for about 3 hours and the
remaining time is used for providing assistance to those patients to be
transferred to the general hospital of Pathein.
