A Doctor Volunteers to Help

By Daran Rehmeyer | Executive Director

Dr Mphofu seeing patients at the Kudvumisa Clinic

"Being a doctor in private practice I noticed the immense difference in cost of care between Kudvumisa and the private health sector. It really takes a lot of passion, goodwill and resources to go to the deepest and marginalized of parts of society and say, 'here I am. I endeavour to serve you, to reach out to you and treat you for free!' It's heart-warming and that's what Kudvumisa Foundation is doing."

These are the words of Dr Mpofu who is working with us at our clinic on a weekly basis.

Dr Mpofu brings a new level of care to the communities Kudvumisa Fundation serves. In the past, patients which required care beyond our nurse led primary care had to be referred to distand faciltites. Care for many of our most critical patients can be provided here at our clinic now without bursening our clientel with extra transport and health care costs.

But all this does come with additional costs to our organization. Expanding our available pharmacy and equipment come a tremendous costs. Please consider helping!
