Given by 17 generous donors in 4 weeks

We would like to Donate some essential medical equipment to a Charitable Hospital that services the poorest people in South East Asia .

Wellington

Jon and I experienced first hand the excellent treatment of the volunteers at Sonja Kill Memorial Hospital http://www.skmh.org/index.htm. Jon had a serious accident when he fell from a deck and got Punctured through his chest by a Mangrove Root. After the wonderful treatment at SKMH we ended up going through to there sister Hospital in Phnom Phen as he needed surgery and they didn't have a operating theatre yet. For me being an experience registered nurse it was amazing watching the volunteers working and looking at the surrounding equipment and bandages etc. They all did exceptionally well with what they had.The SKMH is a charity hospital that was built with the vision to improve the health situation of Cambodians, especially children and expectant mothers, regardless of their ability to pay. We travel over to Kampot once a year and have asked Dr Cornelia Haener (CEO) what would be on her wish list. She replied they are in desparate need of Ventouse, also known as vacuum-assisted vaginal delivery or vacuum extraction (VE), is a method to assist delivery of a baby using a vacuum device.which can save baby and mothers lives.

Jon Meets Cornelia   9 April 2018

Jon delivered the vonteuse and medical supplies to Cornelia at SJK hospital yesterday , they were so appreciative and said it was like 'opening presents at Christmas' they were desperate for the vonteuse sytems and we were so happy we could help . Cornelia ( head surgeon) sent this email.

Dear Jon and Freya,

I am very grateful for your generous donations. Especially our OB/GYN team is excited about the vacuum devices which will help many babies to be born in a gentle way.

I hear that you both will be back in August, and I am looking forward to seeing you both.

Warm regards
