Whisper's Hospital registered 1,372 patients in July

WHISPER'S MAGICAL HOSPITAL THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING WHISPER We are so grateful to our donors for both the advisory and financial support. This has helped our charity Hospital to operate smoothly and save so many lives in Uganda. WHISPER'S HOSPITAL REPORT FOR JULY This has been a very busy month for us as we continue to save so many lives of children and mothers in the Eastern region of Uganda. We managed to register 1,372 patients in our Hospital. This was more compared to the number of patients registered in June which was 1,172 patients. The increase in the number of patients in July also led to an increment in the total amount for drugs and laboratory supplies used. We thank all our donors for supporting us to be able to procure medicine used to treat and save the many lives of children and mothers admitted at Whisper’s Magical Children’s Hospital and Maternity. We registered 269 patients with malaria, 24 patients were babies below 11 months. 59 patients were diagnosed with severe malaria which led to severe anemia hence more blood transfusions. We transfused 208 patients in July which was slightly less compared to the 275 patients transfused in June. There were some days when we had scarcity of blood but still managed to coordinate with other Hospitals to make sure that our anemic patients were transfused.  FREE CERVICAL CANCER SCREENING Whisper's Magical Children's Hospital and Maternity organised a free cervical cancer screening campaign at our premises on Madhvani road in Jinja. This was done with an aim of reducing the risk of developing cervical cancer. We worked on 43 women at the beginning of the campaign. This still goes on every Thursday for free. All this is made possible through the support of our donors. https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/stop-ugandan-women-and-children-dying-at-childbirth/ DONATE TO SAVE A LIFE MALNOURISHED CHILDREN In the month of July, nutritional ward received 20 children with malnutrition. Only two patients were mildly malnourished, the rest of the patients were severely malnourished. Four children were referred to start on Anti-TBs. There was one death recorded, the child had severe dehydration and hypoglycemia on arrival and went into shock. The rest of the patients were managed and are now stable. The major cause of malnutrition in July was excess poverty in these families where these children come from. https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/help-a-malnourished-child-with-whispers-hospital/ DONATE TO SAVE A LIFE BURNS PATIENTS This is Benita an eight year old girl suffering from severe burns caused as a result of her grandmother pouring hot water on her for reasons unknown. She was taken to a certain Hospital where she was not being taken proper care of and her wounds had become septic. One of our nurses saw the child in a bad state and told the mother to bring the child to Whisper's Magical Children's Hospital where she could be well taken care of. We have been taking care of Benita for 3 months now for free, giving her free daily meals, breakfast and treatment which involves daily dressing of the wound. Whisper also organised and took her for skin grafting at Surgeon's plaza which costed us 5,500,000/= ($1486). There is now a great improvement in her condition. We thank you so much for keeping our children's Hospital open so that children like Benita can get a chance to be saved. https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/keep-our-childrens-hospital-open/ DONATE TO SAVE A LIFE CHILDREN TAKEN FOR HEART SURGERIES Whisper's Magical Children's Hospital together with Norton Children's Hospital  and Healing The Children, organised two patients (Hafswa and Logose) for a life saving heart surgery at Norton Children's Hospital. Logose's heart surgery went successful but unfortunately Hafswa could not make it for the surgery as her condition worsened while in the trial anesthesia. Whisper has been helping so many of the cardiac patients since way back by conducting free heart surgeries for them at Mulago Hospital with everything paid for by Whisper. Today Whisper has a good working relationship with Healing The Children organisation whereby some of the cardiac children are taken to Norton Children's Hospital in the USA for life saving operations. https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/keep-our-childrens-hospital-open/  DONATE TO SAVE A LIFE NURSES GRADUATION Whisper's Magical Children's Hospital and Maternity had a graduation for the second team of nurses who completed the nursing training with Galen Center For Professional Development. All nurses who graduated received their certificates. The major objectives of the nurses training is to improve on emergency care and approach and also train nurses more on patient monitoring. https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/keep-our-childrens-hospital-open/ DONATE TO SAVE A LIFE
