Mary Immaculate Health Center is run by the sisters of Mary Immaculate in the Diocese of Eldoret. We are in the rural areas where access to health care is a challenge. The health center started a maternal care unit where both pre-natal and post-natal services are offered. We have a small delivery room which is not fully equipped. The community we serve is a community that still believes in traditional medicine and home deliveries are very common. We have a number of teenage pregnancies and child led families due to the high numbers of young girls getting married at a young age. The facility serves these communities, and the greatest challenge is that we do not have a fully equipped maternity. The small delivery bed in the labor ward is not adequate and we also lack the required equipment in the labor ward. There is no other health facility nearby, and in cases of emergency the nearest government facility is 30 Km away. Your gift of $25 can help buy a hospital bed.

a simple delivery bed that we use for deliveries. if we get funds through your assistance we will purchase a good delivery bed and some theater equipment in case of difficult deliveries, so that we can minimize referrals
we are having challenges in handling clients especially during emergencies, before Easter we had several patients who needed emergency treatment because we are close to the highway. they had a very bad road accident and were brought to the facility but we could not handle the cases because of lack of equipment.we are appealing for support for help to buy equipment so that we can be able to deal with emergencies before they are referred for specialized treatment 26km away.
