Dreamland Mission Hospital
Special Baby Unit
The need for a special baby unit to provide critical care for sick and premature babies was identified back in 2021. Thanks to generous donations from supporters, the hospital was able to convert an existing bungalow into a fully functional special baby unit.
The new unit is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment supplied by MedAid International and MoM Incubators. The incubators are specially designed without requiring water for their warming system, making them safely transportable with their 3-hour battery life. The incubators can also be easily constructed and dismantled, allowing hospital staff to build and run them in under 10 minutes.
Each bed space has 24/7 monitoring, which measures the babies’ oxygen level, heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, and respiratory rate. The unit has an oxygen concentrator and two baby CPAP machines available, which provide high-pressure oxygen provision to help hold the tiny lungs of babies open. The hospital also has phototherapy for treating jaundice and a resuscitaire ready for babies who need resuscitation.
Please help support the Unit
It costs £43,200 to run the Baby Unit for a year. One-off gifts are appreciated but would you consider setting up a regular monthly donation, to enable us to cover the cost of the Unit and save more fragile lives?
We’re looking for 120 people to give £30 per month – that would see the full cost covered per year. Could you be one of them?
Buy a Gift For Life
A Gift for Life of £30 will give a baby the opportunity to receive essential care and treatment in our special baby unit for 1 night.

Carolyne’s story
When Carolyne reached 38 weeks pregnant, she went into active labor, and after three hours, she safely delivered a baby weighing 2.1 kg (4 lb). In the unit, her baby received specialised care, including continuous monitoring of vital signs.
