Where is Nyakato?

Tanzania shown in red John is in Mwanza

 

Nyakato is located near Lake Victoria in a poor northern section of the town.   The weather is cool most of the year...you sleep under a blanket most nights.

There is a large consultant hospital in Mwanza, but it is overwhelmed by patients who are only suppose to go there by referral.

This area has a very high infant and maternal mortality rate.  We hope that we can encourage mothers to have their babies at Nyakato so that complications can be handled in a clean efficient high quality environment.  Look at the "hospital plan" for the modern labor unit.

The hospital will also include other major units commonly found in hospitals.
