This project is supplying a much-needed expansion of our theatre capabilities!
We are currently constructing a new operating theatre block to cater to the growing needs of DMH. The operations we provide at DMH are unique in our location and life-changing for the patients involved.
There is huge demand for our existing main operating theatre. This poses a significant problem for our maternity services. If a mother arrives and requires emergency theatre treatment while another surgery is being conducted, then the hospital either has to refer the patient or manage the patient in the eye theatre which may not be fully ready for what is needed.
- How much we need to reach our 300K Goal 72%
A specially designed theatre block will mean that we will have the capacity to meet increasing demand and should always have a theatre available to handle unexpected emergency cases. The building will have 5 theatres, plus the provision for future ICU.
Construction is nearing completion. Work on the flooring and roof is ongoing. Wiring is in place, awaiting connection of electrical fittings. Water tanks are to be fitted on the roof. The existing solar panels will be cleaned and repositioned when work is complete.
Some of the equipment has arrived but more is needed. We’re aiming to complete the interiors of the building and equip it fully by the end of 2025. But, of course, the sooner it’s finished, the sooner we can begin to treat more patients!
Could you help us raise the remaining funds that are needed? Anything you can give will be greatly appreciated – thank you!
Life Changing Stories
Elizabeth
Theatre Patient
Elizabeth arrived at the hospital in the early stages of labour. She went through labour for some time but something seemed wrong. When the doctor examined her, he discovered that the baby was in distress and that Elizabeth had a condition called cervical lystocia. She needed to have an emergency caesarean section. The nurses on the ward explained the situation to her and she agreed to the procedure. Her baby was born safely and as Elizabeth thanked the staff she said, “I’m so grateful that you saved my baby’s life.”
Elizabeth spoke highly of the service she had received at the hospital. She was impressed by the prompt attention of the medical staff and the high standards of cleanliness she observed. She was also thankful for the daily prayers from the hospital’s chaplain. She mentioned that if she is blessed with another baby, Dreamland Mission Hospital will always be her first choice.
