Bring healthcare to 1,000+ Awake Uganda villagers

The clinic report you see here isn't fancy or sophisticated. But it is a record of a typical month at our health clinic in Otuke District of Northern Uganda. A typical 31 days of hard work treating patients, delivering babies, setting children up for successful, productive futures, and in some cases, saving lives.

We've seen these metrics steadily improve as we add staff, equipment and new skill sets. This is particularly true of neonatal care. 

Here's a recent example of the work we're doing:

A mother named Lillian returned to the clinic — with twins, born in early June; she was there for their six-week immunization and her six-week follow-up visit. (Note: both infant immunizations and postnatal reviews were unheard of in this area before KHC appeared.)

Her twins had been born at 2.2 and 2.3 kgs (about 5 pounds). One was born with severe complications, including a hand prolapse, resulting in severe asphyxiation. Lilian told the team that she assumed her baby wouldn't make it. But the team resuscitated her — and today both babies are thriving at 4.2 kgs.

Lillian said, "It is my greatest pleasure to bring back this child alive for this review and for the team to hold my children."

Thanks for all of your support to make these metrics and stories possible. We will keep expanding our services and reach--with your help!
