Activities
This is what we have achieved:
- Identification of a site and its development/fencing
- Establishment of initial buildings (kitchen/storage, latrines, gatekeeper's cottage)
- Establishment of a water supply for the health centre and the population through the construction of wells and a water tower on the grounds
- Treatment days by a mobile team before the health centre opens: diseases are diagnosed, children are vaccinated and the most common treatments are given. Malnourished children receive special nutrition and are referred to hospital as needed.
- Implementation of a nutrition program in accordance with United Nations standards and establishment of a container warehouse to conduct screenings and store food
- Completion of the main central building as the heart of the health centre.
We are working on:
- Further equipment for the main building.
- Other buildings such as staff quarters
This is what the Sign of Hope health centre provides:
- A nutrition program for malnourished children as well as for pregnant and lactating women
- Obstetrics and medical care for pregnant women
- Vaccination program, especially for children
- Inpatient care for serious illness
- Outpatient treatment for illness and injury
