“This
is our only hospital in the district so we must do all that we can to support
it. Patients are suffering there and even the nurses are suffering so all of us
must make a contribution. I am pleased that I managed to bring an ambulance
back on the road and work to repair the other ones continues,” said Omar.

“Neshuro
Hospital has access to good agricultural land that can be used to grow crops
and improve the meals that patients get. This will also save us some money. The
hospital must self-sustain and desist from over-reliance on donors. We need to
mobilise the community and work together to construct a wall at the back of the
hospital so that the institution can engage in agriculture,” said Omar.
