I was bitten last night by one of the outside cats. This happens frequently that I get a bite or scratch, but this one really hurts. This morning my finger was all swollen. I put it in some hydro peroxide but that did not seem to help. So this afternoon I went to my regular health centre (part of the national government clinics) saw the doctor, got a tetanus shot, had the offer of having my finger bandaged (which I refused for I can do this myself just as well) received anti biotics, antibiotic cream and anti infalatories. All this for QRS 8.- and was done in 15 minutes. For these small things you are better off to go to the local Heath Centre than go to the hospital emergency.
