 Community health clinics adequately supplied with medicine and medical
supply are necessary to promote preventative health and offer quality
curative health care. We would like to assure for each of the 30
clinics in our target area, basic diagnostic and laboratory equipment,
minor procedure instruments, usable beds and an acceptable building.
There are approximately 50 primary health clinics in the province of Bandundu that are owned or associated with the Congolese MB church. Some of them are new and some date back to the 1940’s. All of them are poorly equipped. The objective of this project is to provide a minimum package of equipment that would effectively improve the health care delivery in the community surrounding the clinic.
