The ministries has medical clinics all over Calcutta and surrounding areas.
Some clinics are held in churches or schools.
Across the street from a clinic, garbage is dumped and sorted through by the people, cows, and birds. If anything is left it is taken away in a day or two.
These clinics are in the area of the poorest of poor.
On the outskirts of the city, no medical services are available for miles.
In the back streets of the city people come from all over to receive treatment.
Medical help is much needed and they come for hours for free evaluation and treatment.

We just take our health care for granted at times...we are so blessed! Amazing the unkept environment and yet a church and hosptial/clinics are on the forefront.

We are so glad you had the opportunity to visit Hulda. What a privelege to spend some time in the Mercy Ministries.
