Building a new ward in Musoma
Since February 2011, the Dispensary in Musoma/Bweri is offering services.
The aim has been to be able to offer 24-hours-services for in and out-patients.
Due to limited space and due to government regulations, this aim could not be reached and therefore services were offered only during daytime.
In September 2011, the official opening of the Dispensary took place – during a visit of the prime minister of Tanzania.
Following the stated wish to be able to have a ward, he promised a contribution of 10 Million TSh (5.000 Euro) towards the construction of a ward.
In March 2012, the promise was fulfilled – the check came and the building of the ward started by construction of the foundation, which eventually consumed about 18 Million TSh.
The plan for the building includes a women’s and children’s ward in the upper wing, a men’s ward and 4 private rooms in the wing below and a whole wing for ante-natal, post-natal, deliveries, a theatre, a small laboratory etc. The aim is to be able to admit 24 patients.
The costs for the whole building are estimated 300 Million TSh – about 150.000 Euro.
The need for such a ward is easily seen, as Musoma only has one hospital and 2 health centers which are not covering the needs of the population in and around Musoma.
By now – due to other contributions and the use of own recources – the building has reached the state of being roofed. The estimated costs for finishing are 30 Million TSh (about 15.000 Euro).
Contributions are more than welcome – aiming to enable the continuation of this building project.
