Thanks to the generous support of our donors we have been able to arrange for a cargo container of medical equipment to be shipped from Project C.U.R.E.! We hope to have the hospital fully furnished and staffed by early 2020 when we will be able to open full-time for maternity and emergency services.
One of the tasks for the near future is hiring staff for the hospital. We had hoped to interview candidates in July but that didn’t work out. Our goal is to hire a full-time physician, a midwife and a nurse to be able to open our doors. Ancillary staff like a lab technician and housekeeping will be on a part-time basis. We are looking for staff that agrees with our philosophy and will be willing to learn some new ways of doing things that may not be typical in Nigeria.
Project C.U.R.E. is supplying most of what we need to have a functioning hospital. We chose not to include non-medical items like tables, chairs, filing cabinets, etc., to save room for more important items in the container. We will have to buy those items in Owerri. We will also need to procure medications to have on hand. So, once again we are seeking support.
We will be hosting and online auction beginning November 22 and ending on December 15, 2019, to raise money to ensure a smooth opening or the clinic. Our goal is to raise $10-15,000 by auctioning off goods, services and experiences that will make unique Christmas gifts. Please watch this page for details on how you can bid and ask your friends to check out what we have to offer. We hope to reach a larger audience outside our faithful donors with this event.
