Anesthesia Machine: Ghana Hospital

An anesthesia machine is desperately needed at the Evangelical Church of Ghana (ECG) Hospital in Kpandai, Northern Ghana. The ECG Hospital serves the town of Kpandai and several surrounding villages. They treat over 20,000 patients annually since this small community health centre was upgraded to a hospital in 2013.

An anesthesia machine is vital when there are complications with childbirth and labour. The medical team at the ECG Hospital is often forced to rush women in labour to other facilities which are hours away, traversing the rural roads in Northern Ghana. Time is critical, and lives can be saved simply with the proper medical equipment to perform what would otherwise be routine procedures. 

We are working in partnership with the ECG Hospital to reach the goal of raising half the funds for the machine and a standby generator, which will source the machine during electrical power outages. This is a tangible way for our community to help another community in a life-giving way. 

Please help the ECG Hospital in reaching our goal of $30,000.00!
