New Equipment for the Medical Laboratory

Thanks to the kindness and generousity of Kitchen Table Charities Trust, Bramuel was able to go out yesterday and purchase 3 new pieces of equipment for the Arrow Web Hospital medical laboratory; a bacteriological incubator, hematology analyzer, and a biochemistry colorimeter.

This equipment will make a huge impact in the day to day operations at the hospital. Bramuel has already contacted NHIF to schedule an inspection visit for 3/19/09. This inspection will be for approval for the next higher level of accreditation. It will also allow the hospital to begin accepting referrals from outside facilities for the first time in hospital history.

Arrow Web Hospital wishes to extend our sincere gratitude to everyone at Kitchen Table Charities Trust. We are extremely thankful for your support. It has allowed us to take one more very significant step toward long-term sustainability.

In South Africa the Ministry of Health spends the largest portion of its budget on procuring drugs and medical equipment for the country’s patients. Therefore any donations are very welcome, and in fact are relied upon to make sure that the people living in South Africa have access to healthcare when they need it.
