MERCY CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL
Population:
The staggering statistics by UNICEF show that despite improvements in sub-Saharan Africa in recent decades, 1 in 13 children die under the age of five, compared to 1 in 195 in developed nations. Infectious diseases (such as pneumonia, malaria, and diarrheal diseases) constitute the most common cause of death in children under the age of five years old. If this trend continues, 31 million children under the age of five will die in Africa by the year 2030. Currently, sub-Saharan Africa has 3 public children’s hospitals (two of those located in South Africa) to cater to the continent’s 450 million children.
Intervention:
The proposed 500 bed state-of-the-art center for excellence in pediatric healthcare is slated to be the first mission hospital of its kind in Nyanza-Kenya and East Africa. We envision an accessible, affordable children’s hospital that delivers compassionate, quality care to the entire East African region. The hospital will also include a maternity wing and an outpatient/primary care building dedicated to keeping children and pregnant women in the community healthy.
Outcome:
When compared to previous years, the expectation is that mortality rates will improve among children
under 5 years old due to timely access to affordable medical services/medications and an overall
healthier population due to access to affordable primary care services. Primary care consists of education, early intervention, and surveillance.
Budget:
Phase 1 – $1 million USD
Outpatient Building – consisting of primary care services such as dental, ophthalmology, mental health, immunizations, & general practitioners.
Phase 2 – $80 million USD
Inpatient Building & Diagnostics – consisting of ER and inpatient units such as med-surg, critical care, OR, newborn nursery, and oncology.
Proposal available on request.
