Stop Ugandan women & children dying at childbirth

Thank you our dear donors for the generous support and kindness. Over the past three months, your generosity has enabled us at Whisper’s Magical Children’s Hospital and Maternity to reduce maternal and infant mortality in Uganda.

Your contributions have a direct and profound impact on the lives of Ugandan women and children, helping us save lives and foster healthier futures.

Thanks to your support, we were able to save the lives of 14 premature babies. Five of these babies were critical referrals from nearby facilities, highlighting the vital role our hospital plays in the region's healthcare network.

Additionally, we have had 40 successful deliveries in our maternity ward over the past few months, ensuring safe births and healthy starts for these families.

Our emergency ambulance service has been instrumental in bringing pregnant mothers in labour to our hospital for further management. This service has also facilitated the transportation of critical referrals from different facilities to our hospital, significantly enhancing our ability to save lives.

In the past three months, three mothers brought their sick children for treatment. While on the ward, they went into labour and received free medical attention, ensuring the safety and health of both the mothers and their new-borns.

One of our dedicated doctors was sponsored to pursue a master's degree in pediatrics. We are excited to report that he has returned to our hospital and is now working full-time to save the lives of new-borns. His advanced training and expertise are invaluable assets to our medical team and the families we serve.

In Uganda, maternal mortality remains a pressing issue, with an estimated 336 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births (UNICEF, 2021). Additionally, the neonatal mortality rate stands at 27 deaths per 1,000 live births. These statistics highlight the critical need for the services we provide at Whisper’s Magical Children’s Hospital and Maternity.

Your generosity continues to be the cornerstone of our efforts to reduce maternal and infant mortality in Uganda. Together, we are making a tangible difference, providing hope, health, and a brighter future for many families.

 Thank you for your continued support.
