Ten modular units compose the Surgical Clinic and Health Centre, which provides surgical, maternity and in-patient services through the organization Operieren in Africa E.V. In addition to signature uses of indigenous materials, wide overlapping roofs and fenestration to accommodate varying vantage points, environmental sustainability is furthered through the collection of greywater. Treated with oxygen through solar energy, greywater is collected with rainwater to irrigate the landscape.
