Donation launches New Theatre Extension






Dave had 3 aims when we came to Kagando last August which are gradually being fulfilled.

1. Encourage the leadership team

2. Develop surgical training

3. Develop the operating theatre.

For years the twin operating theatres have been

· Poorly furnished and equipped, even by Ugandan standards

· Too small for the current work load of 3,000 cases a year

· The sterilizing room is needed by the adjacent maternity as a delivery room

The plans to extend the building by a major theatre and adjustments of the layout (– see draft drawings below) have remained a dream because the funds collected were insufficient. However 3 weeks ago the James Knott foundation added a vital donation, which will result in bricks and mortar within this year! Thank God.

Now that the building is going ahead others will want to contribute to furnish and equip it so it will better serve the surrounding half million population in the years to come. Will you?
