Whisper's Magical Children's Hospital and Maternity has been trying to fundraise for an emergency ambulance which will aid in saving so many lives of children and adults. This was done due to the reported number of deaths encountered on arrival.This was critically investigated by our social workers and they found out that most of the children who died on arrival had neither ready means of transport nor transport fare.
So far we have raised $171 out of the required $30,000 goal. As Whisper's Magical Children's Hospital and Maternity, we believe having an ambulance will reduce on the number of deaths in communities which would have been avoided by having ready and reliable means of transportation where by a patient can even be transfused on the way to our Hospital.
We have a sick child in emergency ward by the name of Dorren who is being diagnosed with severe malaria and mild anemia but needs to be referred to Mulago national referral Hospital for her chemotherapy due to Retinoblastoma (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retinoblastoma) but we don't have an ambulance to transport the child to Mulago national referral in time to receive her treatment given there is alot of traffic on Jinja-Kampala road which can be maneuvered by an emergency ambulance since it has a right of way.
Help us to reach our goal of $30,000 by donating to this project so that we can get an ambulance and help save so many lives of those who cannot afford transport cost to the Hospital for treatment or delivery especilly those living in extreme poverty.
