As part of our 120-year
anniversary celebrations last year, we brought our suppliers and colleagues
together for a superb trade show which raised £200k, a figure which Brewers are
delighted to match to total £400k.
This significant donation
was made to Dreamland Mission Hospital in Kenya to fund their new A&E
department which is now open!
Dr Becky Nightingale, UK trustee and Health Programme Manager tells us more:
“IcFEM Dreamland Mission is so thankful to Brewers for the new
A&E.
Until this A&E was built, anyone with a major health issue
such as a heart attack, stroke, or major leg fracture was seen in the same
queue as those with minor issues such as a cold.
There is no GP service in Kimilili, so as a hospital we provide
care for everyone, from those with a chest infection to those with
near-catastrophic injuries.
It was very difficult to safely triage and treat the sickest
patients, and unfair on those who were relatively well to have to witness
people who were very sick—all in one waiting room.
This amazing A&E now means we have eight beds for the most
seriously ill patients.
It is equipped with oxygen, a defibrillator, trolleys,
examination lights, plaster facilities for broken limbs, minor injuries
equipment such as sutures, and all the emergency equipment we require.
It is designed so patients can reach X-ray or the emergency
theatre easily, without passing through the main outpatient area.
This building and equipment will undoubtedly save lives.
Construction started just over a year ago with fifty different
builders who hand-dug all the foundations and laid the slab.
The two-storey building (A&E downstairs and doctor and
clinic rooms upstairs) then took shape, with every stone used to build the
structure hand-chipped to size on site.
The build took just under a year to complete, with equipment
being shipped from the UK via an organisation called Medical Aid International,
which provides appropriate equipment for our rural African setting.
The doctors and nurses are so delighted with the facility.
The local government has inspected it, and as of this week it is
fully operational, seeing and treating the sickest patients in our region.”
