Hospital

Went to a local government hospital. Is for those who can't afford to go to a private hospital, the preference of everyone.
The hospital was large, overcrowded and basic but cleaner than some I saw in South Africa.
I was meeting staff in the Psychiatric Ward. There was no privacy, people were in therapy and others continually walked in and interrupted with no regard to what was happening.
But was an interesting slice of society that I see very little of - women in very traditional garb, completely covered with only their eyes showing. There were a couple of women whose eyes could not be seen either as they were behind a mesh panel.
