“As a registered nurse in the U.S., I was taken aback at the extremely difficult conditions I saw at the Mwogo Health Center. The facility is in desperate need of even the most basic equipment and supplies. There is no source of water – it must be carried in and boiled for sterilization. A small, unreliable generator and a single battery-powered light bulb in the delivery room comprise all the power available in the clinic. I do not see how they can prevent the spread of disease and infections in their existing state. The delivery room is particularly ill-equipped and void of comfort for newborns and their mothers. It broke my heart. They have no equipment for prenatal care or complicated deliveries, not even a simple fetal scope. On the other hand, the staff is kind and dedicated, and I found it truly amazing what they were able to do with so little. I am hoping and praying that we’ll be able to send medical equipment to them in the near future. It will drastically change their lives.”
