The Ro’sh Medical Center in North Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo has been open now for two months and things are going smoothly!
Our first month we provided care to 101 patients and 68 our second month. Forty three of those 169 patients were children.
Malaria, typhoid, urinary tract infections and intestinal parasites were the primary reasons people came to us seeking care.
To build our capacity we purchased an ultrasound machine and are putting it to use this week on pregnant women and as a diagnostic tool.
Currently, approximately 30 percent of our patients cannot afford to pay for our services so we are assisting those patients as necessary. We will not turn away any people who cannot afford to pay.
Our plan is to build out an operating theatre soon by adding additional equipment and a surgical bed. With the growth of the clinic, more staff can be hired and more people can receive high quality medical care in a respectful and caring manner. Stay tuned..
Remarkable what a couple little thrift stores can help provide!! Thank you for update!
Terrific, thanks for the update
