Jericho Road’s Wellness Clinic at New Hope Center in Goma, D.R. Congo, is providing essential medical care to the children and families of New Hope Center as well as vulnerable individuals in surrounding communities.
Our Heart Check funding will support their Wellness Clinic, which is under grave threat due to war.
Clinic services include surgery, labor and delivery, intensive care, imaging, pharmacy, pediatric and adult wards, an ambulance service, health education and training, and a kitchen, cafeteria and off-site farm to combat malnutrition. In just one month, the clinic sees: 2,052 outpatient clinic visits, 261 inpatient admissions, 169 babies born, 75 surgeries, 102 children fed at the malnutrition clinic, 349 prenatal visits, and 307 children immunized.
From Chantal Mandro, Clinic Director:
“The Wellness Clinic provides us with the means to help vulnerable people by providing quality medicines, hospitalizations, and free or reduced-cost surgeries. Without our help, many people would just die due to lack of healthcare. It is a rewarding experience to see vulnerable people relieved of their suffering.”
