Antanifotsy is lucky enough to have it's own hospital. The facilities are limited. There are few beds and not much equipment. However, the hospital CAN help with vaccinations (extremely important in a Malaria-stricken country), mother-child care, nutrition information, and treatments for daily ailments like diarrhea. It is GREAT that the people have something local.

Otherwise, sick people must travel hours on a winding road to Antananarivo, the nation's capital.

Next to the hospital is Antanifotsy's office of public sanitation

We also have a dentist's office, which is very much needed. Most Malagasy don't get any dental care, and truly don't keep all their teeth.

All of these facilities exist only on the main commune!
