Rockflower is pleased to announce a new partnership with Bwiam General Hospital, a key healthcare provider located in the Foni Kansala District of The Gambia. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in our mission to improve the state of maternal and reproductive health for women and girls on the global margins. Together, we are embarking on a critical project aimed at enhancing healthcare infrastructure in rural areas of The Gambia.
Bwiam General Hospital serves as a vital healthcare hub for over 120,000 residents, offering a range of services from emergency care to specialized treatments. However, the need for improved healthcare facilities is acute, particularly in rural outposts like Sanghajor and Kappa. These outposts play an essential role in extending healthcare services to remote communities but are currently hindered by structural damages, lack of utilities, and inadequate medical equipment.
The project will focus on comprehensive renovations, including structural repairs, installation of essential utilities, solar power integration through our collaboration with Power Up Gambia, and the provision of modern medical equipment and furnishings. These enhancements will ensure that the outposts can provide safe, reliable, and efficient healthcare services to pregnant women, lactating mothers, and children in the region.
By upgrading these facilities, we aim to address the high levels of maternal and neonatal mortality in The Gambia. The renovations will not only improve the physical infrastructure but also equip the outposts with the necessary tools to offer comprehensive care, thereby making a significant impact on the health and well-being of the community.
This partnership between Rockflower, Bwiam General Hospital, and Power Up Gambia exemplifies the power of collaboration in tackling the challenges faced by those without access to adequate healthcare. We are excited about the potential of this project to bring about positive change and are committed to working together to ensure its success.
