At Sachibondu we have a Rural Health Centre that serves the communities far and wide and patients come from across the district and beyond as far as Congo and Angola. Our health centre is run by a small team of nurses and midwives who are doing their very best to serve and save lives. Patients can access primary health care, and under-fives clinics providing health checks and vaccinations for children.

Our Nurses, midwives and traditional birth assistants work together to provide services from ante-natal right through to post-delivery; assisting mothers in the critical moments of birthing their children as well as saving the lives of many young first-time mothers and their sometimes very premature babies.

We provide testing, treatment and raise awareness for HIV and TB across the region. We treat multiple malaria cases every week and go out into the communities to provide mobile clinics to those in the far-reaching rural areas. We also host weekly nutrition classes and cookery lessons helping families overcome malnutrition and raising awareness of healthy diet and living. 

We currently have 25 beds for in-patients, and we provide laboratory services where we run a variety of tests to assist our health care workers in providing accurate diagnosis.

The health centre is currently undergoing extensive work to upgrade to a hospital status. This means that many more people will be able to access much needed healthcare and support. We will have a theatre for surgery, an x-ray department and many other additions to serve the community.

Our Health centre is partly funded by the Zambian government, but the funding is very minimal, and it is not enough to provide the effective care needed by the thousands of people that access the centre annually.
