Hospital laboratory needs help urgently

The laboratory-team of Kwale Subdistrict Hospital directed an urgent call for assistance to us on 6th of April

Most of the donators are focused on the wards only.
Seeing the poor environment there animates you at once to donate some money.
But nobody pays attention to the laboratory.

The technical equipment is not so bad at all.

The main problem is the building which hasn't been renovated since 15 years.
Because the roof is leaky the ceiling is soaked through and the rain comes in.
The windows are old some of them are broken. Walls and doors needs a new paint.

The filing cabinets are nearly falling into pieces, the sink (a simple kitchen-sink) is old and meanwhile broken.
The floor cupboard is also broken. Chemical are kept in insecure looking racks.

Because most of the furniture is made from materials which are not the best choice for being used in a laboratory the working area cannot be kept clean.
Due to the lack of cabinets there is no real system possible.

Short-circuits are tried to avoid. And due to the lack of power sockets all analyzing devices are situated in one place.

The analyzing devices are high quality. The team used them always very carefully.
These highly sensitive devices needs an environment which is not to humid and not too hot.
Therefore an air conditioning system is strongly necessary.

Building a waiting-bench would be a good assistance. Read more
