- Mosquito bed nets for the hospital staff (300 staff plus 6 family members on average)
- Mosquito bed nets for nursing students (100 current students, with 25 - 30 new each year)
- Mosquito bed nets distributed to the patients who come to the hospital or who attend one of the satellite clinics supported by the hospital. (150,000 - 200,000 per year - that's a LOT of nets!)
- Immunizations for the staff, including Hepatitis A&B, meningitis, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, etc. If a staff member gets sick with one of these communicable diseases, the ward they oversee goes without nursing care until they are better.
- Continuation of malaria prevention and treatment
- Treatment of AIDS, Tuberculosis, Dysentery, parasites, etc.
- Satellite internet access for doctors and other staff to access up-to-date medical information
Additional past and ongoing work:
- We taught mind-body medicine and its tools and importance for stress management to the medical doctors and nurses at the hospital. They are in great need of effective tools to assist them with their huge amount of stress.
- As faculty and mentors at the University of Colorado Medical School, we have sent medical students every year since 2007 to volunteer their time working for the hospital. They go for a period of six weeks and participate in every aspect of the hospital's activities.
- We raised money in 2005 for the purchase and installation of a satellite dish since the hospital is so isolated and has no telephone communication with the outside world. They are in a valley, and cell phones work only sporadically. We continue to raise funding to support the maintenance of this satellite dish and bandwidth so that the staff can access up-to-date research and medical information.
- Each year we work with the hospital management team to do a needs assessment of the hospital and its five outlying satellite clinics.
