One on one interview
conducted using a
translator at Maliheh Free
Clinic
Name: [..] Age: [..]
Patient since: [] City: [.]

At the age of [..], [..] has been experiencing a severe pain in the legs when walking or
standing. Without medical insurance, [..] was reluctant in seeking proper check-up and
medical services for his leg pain. He is depressed since the pain in the legs has affected his work.
His wife, who used to be a patient at Maliheh Free Clinic, recommends him that Maliheh is a
place that provides medical services to people without insurance. [..] made his appointment
immediately, and there, he was diagnosed with spinal stenosis. The narrowing of the spinal was
caused by osteoarthritis, or wear and tear arthritis, of the spinal column and discs between the
vertebrae. The doctors at Malliheh put him in a constant care after learning of his symptoms.
Besides taking medicine, he was instructed to daily exercise since it is very important in the
treatment of this disease. After two months of treatment, [..]s legs condition has been
improving. He is so grateful for his family, friends, and the team at Maliheh for treating his
symptom. Maliheh Free Clinic has changed my life. Despite being a free clinic, it gives me a
full support. The doctors and the staffs are very nice and treat me with utmost care. I think it is a
good decision that the clinic was made. The clinic helps people like me who does not have health
insurance or cannot afford for medicals services.
