The rotary doctors building

Visiting doctors from Sweden have played a big part in developing the mission and especially the hospital. The house they used to stay in burned down, so we are now in the process of building new accommodation for these doctors and other visitors.

Tiling the wards

Many of the surfaces of the hospital hasn’t been renovated or decorated since construction. Now all the wards have their floors beautifully tiled thanks to the team from the UK! It’s just the OPD suit and maternity ward left to go…

Curtains for the wards

With funding from Friends of Mpongwe, new curtains have been put up in the women’s ward and most of the mens ward at the hospital. This makes a significant difference for the patients environment and privacy.

The curtains are sown by the women in the sowing group and hung up by the workshop.

Poultry

The patients in the hospital often suffer from malnourishment. In order to provide a variety in their diet, we need an economically smart way of providing eggs.

The project is currently on hold but will continue after the RDB is finished.
