Mangao Aid Post

Mangao is a further days walk to the north east of Pyarulam. Steaming hot, the disease pattern is similar to other hot locations like Elem. Malnutrition is also a major issue. These people are somewhat culturally distinct from Engans, speaking another language called Magahai. There has never been a health service located in this area.

With the opening of their airstrip in 2011, EBHS decided to place a health worker for the first time in this extremely needy area. This service commenced in March 2013 with a CHW being placed at the aid post in Mangao. Since then a new staff house has been built and the aid post has acquired a solar fridge for vaccines.
