The Kilimatinde Trust was established in 1997 and since then it has continued in partnership with the Diocese of the Rift Valley, Tanzania.
Explosion at Kilimatinde Hospital
There has been an explosion involving the gas sterilizer machine, which is used to sterilize surgical instruments and equipment used in the operating theatre. Surgical gowns and drapes have been destroyed and there’s unfortunately been significant damage. Thankfully no-one was hurt.
Devastatingly this means that all surgical services are suspended temporarily until we can replace the sterilizer for the equipment (autoclave), surgical gowns, drapes and the destroyed surgical instruments. For patients requiring emergency surgery, they will need to be transferred to neighbouring hospitals. You will remember that we recently raised funds to replace the anaesthetic machine, but this won’t be able to be used without a means of safely sterilizing equipment.
We are asking for people to please contribute if you can to our emergency fund to restore surgical services in Kilimatinde.
