Nkhoma Hospital

Here's a note from the hospital in Nkhoma where I lived for 2.5 years. They do great work at the hospital and could use help in realizing their plans for the future of the hospital:

At Nkhoma, a small village in Malawi (the 5th poorest country of the world) is Nkhoma Hospital, now in its hundredth year.

The people of the community as with any other municipality need health care. Currently the hospital is under-resourced with sick children having to share beds, eye care patients waiting for hours on hard benches to be guided to their operations, no any privacy in the labour room and very bad facilities for the guardians (those who come to take care of the patients).

To serve the patients with love and care, Nkhoma Hospital needs better facilities not just for the patients and their guardians but also for the hospital staff too.
SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE !!!!!!!

In June 2009 together with hospital managemenent and staff, I have put together a plan for the future. We have created a master plan and concept designs for throughout the hospital.
To realize the plan we need help, your help.
To find out how you can help please visit our website (www.nkhomahospitalfoundation.com). With your help we are sure Nkhoma Hospital can give the health care the community needs and the staff the working conditions they deserve.

Please do feel free to send this message to your family, friends and network.

With kind regards, on behalf of the board of Nkhoma Hospital Foundation,
