With your help we can greatly improve the conditions for our patients and continue to provide quality medical care for the poor and marginalized. The new hospital building will significantly increase our medical and surgical capacity and enable greater outreach for the surrounding underserved villages. Improved facilities will also enable us to provide a greater range of services for patients with no means of traveling to the cities for medical care, which will have to be paid out-of-pocket.

The photos below show the current state of disrepair at the old hospital and the progress being made on the new building's construction. CRHP strives to provide the highest quality medical care for our patients, observing strict sterile technique and proven scientific treatment methods. This has resulted in excellent outcomes and the people's respect and trust in our competence as health providers. However, this has meant a reduction in comfortable and aesthetically pleasing facilities, which also acts as a deterrent to attracting qualified professional staff. The old hospital is becoming increasingly costly to repair and is beginning to pose a safety hazard for both staff and patients. Unless emergency funding is obtained the closure of this facility will have disastrous consequences for the tens of thousands of people who rely on our services.

Thank you for your support.
