When Esnat, a 21-year-old expectant mother in rural Malawi, went into labor, her only option was to climb aboard a motorbike to African Mission Healthcare partner Nkhoma Mission Hospital.
Having lost her two previous babies shortly after birth, Esnat was scared when the nurses told her that dangerously low oxygen levels were causing her unborn baby’s heart to race and that the child was in distress.
Fortunately, because of the generosity of donors like you, African Mission Healthcare had installed an oxygen plant at Nkhoma Hospital and upgraded the electrical system to handle the new equipment. This effort allowed Esnat’s baby to have all the oxygen she needed; it saved her life. Filled with an exuberant joy, Esnat named her daughter “Pride.”
In addition to ensuring that every Nkhoma patient has access to life-saving oxygen, the oxygen plant has distributed free cylinders to hospitals across central Malawi.
