Returning Babies!
Occasionally some our premature babies come back to Azur to visit. It is lovely to see them thriving and developing compared to the tiny babies who went home at 48 hours old, weighing less than 2kg.
Kangaroo care
Simple skin-to-skin ‘kangaroo’ care has been proven to improve the outcomes of neonates, especially those born too early, of low birth weight or who are sick.
Cake Sale & African Craft Sale
Homemade cake sale and African craft sale on Thursday 12th November 2015 at Wexham Park Hospital, Slough
Dry heat steriliser
Earlier in 2015 we held a cake sale and raised an amazing £930. This was all put towards purchasing a dry heat steriliser for the maternity wards at Azur Clinic.
Tonya
Tonya is a village located in the Hoima District, along the Eastern shores of Lake Albert and lies approximately 45 km from Hoima town. For the two years up until June 2015 Tonya had no midwife. Now with the arrival of Viola, the new midwife, the government have increased the clinic to a Health Centre III.
Delivery bed
We aimed to raise enough money to replace Azur’s rusting delivery bed, but through MAMA supporters’ generosity we were able to not only buy a new bed, but replace all the curtains and aprons on labour ward as well.
Runga Outreach Clinic
The outreach clinic had been running for a few years previous, led by Grace and Barongo, and mainly offering HIV screening to the village and antenatal bookings for pregnant women. The funding run out a couple of years ago, which is when MAMA first got involved with it.
