Memorial Hospital is proud to announce the donation of vital medical equipment to two significant hospital projects in Kenya. This charitable effort was facilitated by insights from Memorial Hospital’s colleagues at Quincy Medical Group and Bishop Warren, a senior pastor of the Cathedral of Worship in Quincy, Illinois.
One of the projects taking place in Kenya is a two-storey women’s health maternity hospital that will include small unit birthing rooms, emergency room facilities, and waiting rooms designed to support mothers during labour.
This facility is currently at 70 per cent completion and is being built by hand, except for heavy machinery that is being used to transport concrete to the second level for safety reasons.
The project is the first of this kind within the region and is expected to serve 500,000 childbearing women. Additionally, a 400-bed hospital in Kenya that has been vacant for nine years is currently being renovated to help serve those in need.
