We would like to thank our supporters for making donations towards this program. We will begin building the maternity unit at Alemere Medical Aid Uganda Community Health Centre by next week. We already have the bricks made at the health centre and the building plan of the maternity unit is already been drawn. Once the maternity unit is completed it will offer essential quality maternity services in Alemere, Amolatar District Northern Uganda.
The MARJORIE MOXON Maternity Unit is being built in Alemere Medical Aid Uganda Community Health Centre in Amolatar district local government, Northern Uganda. Pregnant mothers in the local community can now give birth safely in a medical facility being supported by midwives. This will help us save many lives of mothers and children who could have died due to medical complications during labour.
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), most pregnancies and child births are not planned in Northern Uganda. On average, women in Uganda have five children, but in rural areas they have many more. Only about 27% of women use a modern form of contraception.
Supporting us means investing in MedAid UK for tomorrow and the years ahead. Every contribution is so valuable to support mothers and children. Your donations will save lives.
