Ultrasound Access for All: Equipping Agonga facility

The lack of an ultrasound machine at Agonga Health Facility poses a significant challenge to maternal and child health. Pregnant women seeking prenatal care at the facility are unable to undergo essential ultrasound scans, which are crucial for early detection of pregnancy complications, monitoring fetal development, and determining gestational age. This lack of access forces mothers to travel long distances to distant health facilities, which can be burdensome, time-consuming, and costly.

Expectant mothers who come to Karin Medical Center - Unyama to access ultrasound services no longer face the same challenges as before. Thanks to the generous support of Rotary International, the facility is now equipped with a state-of-the-art ultrasound machine. This means that mothers can receive essential prenatal care closer to home, eliminating the need for long and arduous journeys to distant health facilities.

The lack of ultrasound services at Agonga has significantly caused significant challenges. Upon arrival, expectant mothers are informed that the necessary ultrasound machine is located several kilometers away at Karin Medical Center - Unyama. Despite the inconvenience and expense of traveling to Unyama from Agonga, these women have no choice but to make the journey to access this essential prenatal care service.

We are urgently appealing to our partners and supporters to help us procure an ultrasound machine for Agonga Health Facility. Your generous contribution will make a significant difference in the lives of expectant mothers and their unborn children.
