Because of you, hundreds of children were healed, mothers were safely delivered, and families walked away with hope instead of heartbreak. At Whispers Magical Children’s Hospital and Maternity, these past three months have been filled with challenges — but also countless miracles made possible through your generosity.
In the past three months, we have saved over 1500 lives. That number includes 800 children and guardians who received general consultations, 150 adults who came to us when they had no other place to turn, and 90 mothers who delivered safely with dignity and care. We performed 13 minor surgeries, provided 216 life-saving blood transfusions, and ensured that no one in critical condition was turned away — no matter their financial situation.
But beyond the numbers are real stories. A child with sickle cell crisis came in barely able to walk, in severe pain, with worried parents by their side. We treated her, gave her blood, medication, and close monitoring. She went home stable and smiling. In just three months, we cared for 684 children with sickle cell disease, a number that speaks to how common — and how urgent — this condition is in our region.
We also treated 279 cases of severe anaemia, 169 malaria infections, 210 cases of bacteraemia, 128 children with malnutrition, and 33 patients with tuberculosis. For many of these patients, Whispers was their only option. Our free Sickle Cell, TB, and Nutrition clinics have remained vital — often the only consistent and accessible care for children living with chronic illness.
Your support also helps us reach beyond the poorest of the poor. Through our partnerships with ICEA, GA Insurance, APA, CIC, and National Water and Sewerage Cooperation, we are slowly bridging the gap between charity care and sustainable, inclusive healthcare. Families who can access insurance now receive high-quality services at Whispers, while those who cannot still receive the same care — completely free — because of your generosity.
