This is your typical clinic set up in a rural setting in Kham. It's a single room dispensary-cum-surgery in the village square. They have a reasonable stock of essential western medicines [antibiotics, antihypertensives, etc]and quite a few traditional Chinese and Tibetan herbal ones too.
No doctor. The clinic was run by a nurse-paramedic - the modern equivalent of the barefoot. Anything serious would be referred on to Deqin, half a day away.
