Renovations Begin
This week our local team in Kyebe started renovations of the Maternity Clinic.
The first step was to temporarily relocate the delivery room and medical equipment into a recently renovated building that will house the midwives.
This will allow the facility to continue operating whilst renovations are underway.
Due to the age of the facility and unexpected structural issues, the main clinic will require reconstruction of a number of supporting walls and the roof, before the interior is re-established.
A summary from our friends at the Rotary Club of Konge Lukuli:
1. The midwives’ house has been completed with plumbing, tiling and painting
2. The medical equipment in Maternity Ward has been transferred to the refurbished midwives’ house to temporarily provide maternity services as you proposed.
3. The main maternity ward has been brought down and the debris is being carted away to pave way for reconstruction
4. Most of the materials, required for construction of the foundation, have been procured and construction is expected to start on Saturday 6 April 2024
5. Our Rotary Club of Konge Lukuli has proposed that our Rotary District Governor visits the site, to symbolically pass over the Midwives’ house to the sub-county health leadership and also lay a Foundation Stone for the main Maternity Ward on 13 April 2024.
6. We are in touch with the local leadership and are working together. The District Health Officer has blessed our undertaking with gratitude.
