Zambia - Fully equipped facilities
Accessing health care in Makoka is often impossible, especially for pregnant mothers and small children who are unable to walk long distances to the rural health centre. That’s where World Vision comes in. We’re working with the local community and health organisations to build a new health centre that can give more children a chance at survival.
With the support of donations, the new health centre will increase access to anti-malarial medication for children under 5 years old, we’ll be training staff to help pregnant women deliver their babies safely and monitor the healthy growth of children. In addition, World Vision are also encouraging people to have counselling and testing for HIV to prevent the spread of infection from mother to baby.
