The problem
The only way to get to St Michael’s Health Centre was by climbing steep steps or walking up a slippery, grassy slope. Patients, from pregnant women to the elderly, struggled to reach the Health Centre. Unconscious patients had to be carried. Imagine climbing a steep hill to just to visit a GP or A&E when you are already feeling unwell.
The solution
A ramp has been built and access is easier. The climb is less steep and so everyone will be able to get the care they need much more easily. A tarmac surface means vehicles can drive part-way up the slope. And if someone cannot walk, it is possible for them to use one of the our newly purchased wheelchairs.
Everyone can get the care and treatment they need.
