Save and Restore Adwa General Hospital

This is an emergency appeal for financial support to save and restore Adwa General Hospital (AGH). The AGH was built 88 years ago and serves more than 140,000 patients annually. On average 11,700 patients received some type of medical services per month.

But since the war in the Tigray region of Ethiopia started in early November 2020, the extent of damage inflicted on all forms of physical, social and economic infrastructure in the Tigray region is extensive. AGH is among the heavily damaged, extensively looted and infrastructure destroyed institutions in Tigray.

The hospital is currently providing limited services due to lack of basic and critical medical equipments. Our goal (Phase I) is to primarily maintain, equip and restore its basic medical functions and services.

Specifically:

•⁠ ⁠purchase basic medical equipments (generator & autoclave)

•⁠ ⁠replace and furnish bedsheets and mattresses

•⁠ ⁠equip with hygiene and sanitation materials (such as water tanker and laundry machine etc.)

•⁠ ⁠remove all the damaged materials from the hospital

•⁠ ⁠train and build the capacity of health workers and staff

Phase I goal is to raise $180,000 and your contribution will directly bring positive impact and save lives. The funds will be solely used for this purpose and a full report will be provided to the public. A local community oversight committee has been established to help with this.
