At the Katondwe Mission Hospital, every day brings new challenges. Our reality is full of very tough moments, when we feel powerless, intertwined with the times that give us great satisfaction from the help we have provided. It is a great joy and a commitment for the future. We want to provide our patients with constant care of the highest possible standard and to constantly improve the conditions in the Hospital. Usually, the reality of life in Africa, in Zambia, is very different from the standards and convenience we know. Nevertheless, we make sure to end each day with a sense of a job well done and gratitude for all the good that has occurred. Of course, it would not be possible without the support of our Donors, for which we are very grateful.

A story about patients for whom the hospital is often the only chance of salvation. A story about the people involved in its operation and development.

Areas around the rivers are not the safest places here. Simple, everyday activities like washing clothes or fishing may result in serious injuries or even death. Wild animal attacks are a frequent occurrence, and Katondwe Mission Hospital admits victims not only from our closest area.

At the Katondwe Mission Hospital, we welcome each baby with equal care and pray to God for their happy future. However, receiving a little human into the world is not always easy. As in any hospital, we also have cases of complicated births, and the African reality of Katondwe makes providing medical assistance much more difficult.
This time, another healthy baby was born, assisted by the gynaecological and surgical team which will stay in the Katondwe Mission Hospital for several more days.
Dear little Maria, welcome to the world!
