This year, thanks to the support of foundations and private individuals, we have managed to realize the plan of building a Diagnostic and Radiology Unit but we have also managed to have a new X-ray machine fulfill the great dream of Sister Edyta, our qualified radiologist.

Water is a substance of primary necessity for every human being. We use it not only for drinking but also for hygiene, which is particularly important in places like hospitals. For sanitary purposes, we use water from an artificial reservoir created over half a century ago by the Jesuit Brothers. We are very pleased that with the involvement of the local community, we were able to clean the reservoir and repair the dam that forms it.

We spent Easter time in Katondwe on common reflection, cordiality, peace and joy.

We wish everyone what's best.

DEAR FRIENDS OF THE MISSION HOSPITAL IN KATONDWE For many years you have shown us great understanding and have been actively involved in the development of the missionary work. Our Katondwe hospital has benefited from your generous work in the past year. That is why, once again, we humbly extend our hands to you with confidence, counting on your help. And what's going on? It is a new ultrasound (ultrasound) machine. At the moment, we have only one working ultrasound machine.

We are just adding our 200th post on Instagram. For two years we have been informing our followers about people, events and changes in Katondwe. Thanks to social media you can be close to us and our patients every day. Your presence and support are priceless for us.

As the new tax season begins, there comes a great opportunity to help those in need. Everyone can donate 1.5% of their tax to a public benefit organization of their choice. This year, we have an honor to cooperate with the Pro Spe charity once more and together we will collect funds for the hospital in Katondwe.

Not a day goes by in Katondwe without us having to face difficult, often unpredictable situations. Every day, people in serious condition come to our hospital and require immediate help. We diagnose and treat various cases – for example limb injuries and chronic diseases. However, the african population must deal with another type of threat - infectious diseases, which are an extremely serious and frequent problem, especially in this part of the world.

The boy was hospitalized due to a snake bite; unfortunately, there was skin necrosis. It was necessary to decide about skin transplantation. The recovery process after transplantation usually takes some time. However, the most important thing is that the patient's current state of health is good.

Though it's hard to believe, 2023 is slowly coming to an end. Time passes quickly, especially here in Katondwe, where there is always plenty of work to do and the number of people in need is constantly increasing. The end of this year is extremely intense for us, but we keep in mind that it is most importantly a time of joyful waiting for Christmas. Amidst all our busy activities we take a moment to reflect and briefly summarize this year.

Christmas is near. It’s a time of miracles, hopes and wishes. We also have many plans on how to improve our hospital and one of these big dreams is coming true as the building of a radiology block has jus started! This is wonderful and long awaited news for the staff and patients of the Katondwe Hospital.
