The Chalabesa Rural Health Centre is helping deliver babies safely in remote northeastern Zambia.
In some of the most remote places in the world, accessing healthcare is a difficult and dangerous journey. From rough roads to vast distances, poor weather to safety concerns, people in remote communities face immense challenges to receiving the care they need. The remoteness also creates a challenging environment for clinics to have adequate resources and facilities.
For expectant mothers, these challenges can mean the difference between life and death.
Today, the clinic is in need of upgrades to its facilities and medical equipment, from vehicles to aid in transport, to tools such as life-saving resuscitators and incubators to help nurture a newborn. Without a dedicated mother’s shelter, pregnant women and new mothers have no choice but to share facilities with other people with critical illnesses.
Every mother deserves the reassurance of giving birth with the appropriate facilities and equipment. The dignity of a safe and comfortable birth.
Your support before June 30 can help reassure mothers like Eveline and Given can give birth safely.
