bad headaches, you know when your immunity goes down you get other
ailments and they are worse than normal … but once you know your sta-
tus you can come and be treated quickly before it gets worse… So I'm
grateful to this clinic, it has done us a lot of good.
• Yes, treatment. I get it for free; if they want to carry out some research
and they need blood they give us bus fare because the appointed day may
come to take your blood or urine sample and you may not be able because
you don't have bus fare.
• I expected treatment, free of charge. Every time I fall sick I come for
treatment and it's free.
• They just passed by telling people on the streets, and I learned there is
a clinic for helping people to detect diseases and in return they use your
blood for research. We agreed that it is OK.
• You see, they usually check us down there to see how we are getting on;
you could be developing something. So you get to know about it early
enough and save yourself. That for me is a benefit.
• No, I did not expect money or such things, just treatment.
• They give us free medicine because of the nature of our work. If you have
a problem they help you.
• Because that is what I need. That is what is important, they give me what
I would otherwise not be able to get [treatment].
• I was told I would get beneits of [testing for and treatment of] communi-
cable diseases. If I am found with them, I would be treated, there is a doc-
tor here, and there is medicine…
• Yes, I am satisied because when I come here I get a cheerful doctor who
I can confide in without fear and tell her about my pains, and when I have
problems there is a counsellor I can go and talk to and [s]he counsels me
until I am satisfied… I like this clinic because since we realized the ben-
efits of the clinic, we try to bring many people so that they too can ben-
efit. And the benefits I get from this clinic have also helped me in doing
my work. I can protect myself against infections according to how we are
advised at the clinic and I also teach others so that they can protect them-
selves too.
• We have a very nice doctor, sisters, they all welcome us in the clinic.
• For me I see that the beneits I would expect is treatment because what-
ever kind of sickness I get I am treated. So this clinic has a lot of benefits.
• I don't think there should be any other kind of beneits … we are given
free medicine, free treatment.
• I think it's forever, because there are some women I have heard saying
they have been here since 1986. So it can go on forever, that is so long as
you are going to sponsor it [Interviewer: So you will be getting these free
services forever?] Yes, hopefully! God willing. [Laughter].
• I don't know what I will do if they close down.
