What we need.
We plan to upgrade our Health Centre from its current rating of Health Centre Grade 3 to Health Centre Grade 4.
To do this we need to construct an Operation Surgical Theatre within the Centre so as to be able to deal with common Obstetrical Emergencies and reduce the High Maternal Mortality Rate in the Diocese from 550 per 10,000 to 100 per 10,000.
For our new Theatre we will need a wide range of Surgical Equipment.
We need a competent Volunteer Surgeon.
We need a Volunteer Doctor, Nurses and Midwives.
All of these new staff are required with great urgency.
For these new Volunteers we can provide free accommodation of houses with electricity, furniture and running water.
We will provide all tropical food, especially fruits.
We will take our Volunteers to places of great natural interest in South Western Uganda including the Queen Elizabeth National Park and Bwindi National Park.
Our new Volunteers will gain more knowledge of Tropical Medicine where they will be able to conduct outpatient clinics in our 10 Rural Health Units.
PLEASE HELP. WE ARE IN GREAT NEED.
GOD BLESS.
