Giving Children Hope and the Orange Rotary Club Establish Medical Clinic in Zimbabwe

In partnership with the Orange Rotary Club, Giving Children Hope has established a new medical clinic in Zimbabwe. With the help of the Rotary, GCH was able to specify the needed supplies and equipment for the clinic, and supplied the items through the procurement of low cost or donated items. GCH’s bio-technician refurbishes recycled medical equipment to be included in the shipment.

The new clinic is located in the village of Chinhoyi and is designed to consist of 32 rooms, of which 4 have already been constructed. The clinic’s staff currently includes 3 doctors, 5 nurses, and 2 nursing assistants, and will soon be joined by an anesthesiologist and a surgeon who have been brought on by the Orange Rotary.

Michael Mello, a reporter with the Orange County Register, was eager to learn not only about the container itself, but about the equipment, the clinic, and the village of Chinhoyi. Read his article in the OC Register.
