Aiyokos Health Centre

Aiyokos is 30 minutes drive back towards Wabag from Kompiam and is our most accessible health centre. There is currently one staff worker there and new staff accommodation was built in 2016. The health centre now has a 240v solar system, powering a vaccine fridge and oxygen concentrators. Sustainable water supply has been an ongoing problem, however the provincial government has recently given the centre money to resolve this.

Common illnesses in this region include pneumonia (the elevation is around 6000 feet and it is colder and wetter than Kompiam) and trauma of various kinds.
