Broadwell Christian Hospital’s Superintendent, Dr. Ricky Mathew, reveals how a few crucial donations from the Mina Fund are making the difference between life and death—for both teenagers and newborns.
The impact is clearest in the High Dependency Unit (HDU). Dr. Mathew recalls a 17-year-old girl, pale and unable to speak, who required complex surgery for abdominal tuberculosis. It was the continuous, precise monitoring from the donated Dräger Vista and NIBP monitors that safely guided her through the critical post-operative days. When she left the hospital, she had a 'glowing smile' on her face - a complete transformation made possible by essential technology.
The impact continues in the Neonatal Nursery. In this high-birth-rate region where many mothers lack proper antenatal care, sick newborns arrive daily. The donated Warmer and Bubble CPAP machine provide essential support, keeping the babies’ temperatures stable and assisting the breathing of those struggling to survive.
Your continued generosity ensures that from the most complex surgery to a baby’s first breath, our doctors have the precise tools needed to give every patient a fighting chance.
