Kamachumu Health Clinic

336

People shouldn’t have to leave the country to receive decent healthcare.

But in Kamachumu, Tanzania this happens far too often. Those who can, cross the border to Uganda or Kenya for basic checkups, and those who can’t are left without sufficient medical attention and care.

Kamachumu Health Clinic can change this.

Using E-medicine and modern equipment, we aim to provide accessible, compassionate and quality healthcare to the Kamachumu area with a level of efficiency observed at the best health facilities in the world. 

We have already started, but can’t continue without YOUR support. Please DONATE TODAY and help us spread the word!

Construction of the Kamachumu Health Clinic is underway with initial finances provided by founders, Justinian Ngaiza MD, Ph.D., and Jean Rutabanzibwa-Ngaiza Ph.D. 

The building’s initial design was created pro bono by architect Hilda Rutabanzibwa-Chagula. Subsequent modifications were made by architect and contractor Godchance Mosi to comply with Tanzanian Ministry of Health requirements. The final outlay to accommodate the functionality of the clinic, in particular separating the clinical side from the administrative section, was designed by members of our team, engineers Edwin Olweny and Mbugua ‘Jabone’ Njenga. 

Construction began in May 2012, with the first wing of the clinic being completed shortly thereafter. The second wing of the clinic was completed in 2019. A fence is currently being constructed around the property which will be completed in 2024.

In 2023, EHI received a generous pledge of $10,000 for the construction of a well for the clinic. Construction is expected to begin in 2024.
