The Medical Centre is a first port of call for people in Lalibela & surrounding villages, requiring medical, nursing & maternity care. These are typically poor farming families. The nearest main hospital is 140 miles away and has poor treatment outcomes. Medical care is provided in line with the patient's ability to pay. In this way, the very poor are able to access free medical and nursing care.
