St. Luke’s Hospital
12-Bed Ward Completed

Tree Removal and Concrete Blocks ready for work to start in earnest

Phase 3, which has added an additional ward, independent of the main building to allow those recovering from Cæsareans not to take up bed space for those able to give birth normally, as well as providing for 'Expectant' Beds to allow those from far off villages to avoid having to travel close to the time of delivery is now completed.  The ward should open before Easter 2007.

Work is now in hand to add an Anæsthetic and Recovery Room Suite to complement the Theatre Facilities completed in 2005.
