WHISPER'S MAGICAL HOSPITAL THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING WHISPER'S HOSPITAL We thank all our donors for the generous support towards all our charitable services. We are so privileged to have you on the Whisper team of wonderful supporters.  WHISPER'S HOSPITAL REPORT FOR AUGUST In this month Whisper’s Magical Hospital treated 1,118 patients both in adults and pediatric sections. This is a bit lower than the total number of patients treated in July with a difference of 254 patients. This month Whisper spent 27,178,150 Ugandan shilling ($7,346) on drugs and lab supplies. We have helped so many mothers and children in the Eastern region especially those who come as emergency cases. Most families we receive in the pediatric section cannot afford health care services but Whisper is able to help them with the donations we get. This is Umar one of the children who came with severe malaria and severe anemia. This child needed immediate attention and was admitted in the emergency ward on arrival with an Hb (Hemoglobin) of 3. This is one of the August children who were critically ill. Without Whisper's Magical Hospital, this child would have lost his life. We are so thankful to the Whisper team for saving this child's life. DONATE NOW THE MALNOURISHED CHILDREN Whisper's Magical Children's Hospital is well known for rescuing and rehabilitating the malnourished children in the Eastern region of Uganda. This time round the number of malnourished children rehabilitated reduced from 20 to 13 malnourished patients. Unfortunately, we lost two patients because of severe hypoglycemia and hypothermia. We had one referral due to PTB (Tuberculosis). Other patients were treated and discharged while fully recovered. The major causes of malnutrition this month were poor feeding due to extreme poverty in different communities. Another cause of malnutrition was chronic vomiting which limited the intake of recommended daily allowances (RDAs). Through the outreach team we are able to locate these children and bring them to the Hospital for treatment. Please help us to save more of these children by donating to this project. https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/help-a-malnourished-child-with-whispers-hospital/ DONATE NOW OUTREACH ULTRASOUND SCANS Whisper's outreach was able to conduct 45 free ultrasound scans for mothers who cannot afford them. These scans where done in different health centers of different parishes which include Mpumudde, Nasuti and Lukoolo. This project was started to reduce on the number of abortions which has led to deaths of so many pregnant women and also to improve detection of fetal anomalies. The project is still going on in Jinja district and so many pregnant young women and mothers in the villages are being helped. Please support us to create a positive impact to the pregnant women in the community. https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/stop-ugandan-women-and-children-dying-at-childbirth/ DONATE NOW BLOOD TRANSFUSION One of the major challenges In August was shortage of blood. There was no blood at Jinja blood bank for quite a few days and we struggled to look for blood for our patients who were severely anemic. We managed to get some blood from Nakasero blood bank which we transfused to these severely anemic patients until the situation resolved. We transfused blood to 179 patients with a total of 247 blood units. 221 patients were diagnosed with malaria which may have caused anemia. The number of sickle cell patients increased from last month’s 24 patients to 42. These two conditions are some of the leading causes of anemia within the region.
