A ruined hospital and the remains of a quincunx of buildings, laid out like the five dots on a die, flank the roadway before the base of the steps to the temple complex. The hospital consisted of a number of cells. A bat oruwa (large stone trough) sits among the ruins. The interior is carved in the shape of a human form, and the patient would climb into this to be immersed in healing oils.
Inscriptions have revealed that the hospital had its specialists – there is reference to a mandova , a bone and muscle specialist, and to a puhunda vedek , a leech doctor.
