Masambuka Clinic
Masambuka Clinic
STACC is raising funds to complete the clinic, toilet and washing facilities, clinical waste incinerator and staff house at Masambuka village in Malawi. The country is consistently one of the 10 poorest in the world and this remote community is particularly poorly served for health services. The village is 10km along a single dirt road to the nearest health facility and children with fever and women in labour have died whilst trying to walk to get treatment. The new staff house and clinic will allow a government funded health worker to be based in the village to serve the local community and deal with preventable diseases such as cholera and malaria. Building work has already started with the villagers themselves clearing the land. Funds have already been raised to install solar power for the house and clinic which will then also have cold storage facilities required to act as a vaccination centre for the wider area. We are now aiming to raise the final funding to complete the house and clinic by the end of the year.
