The building was completed during 2013 and the equipment arrived earlier this month. The recent vision team participated in the dedication Friday afternoon before leaving.

This new center will provide a safer, cleaner, healthier environment for women to give birth. In addition to the equipment you see in the pictures, there is also an echographie machine which will be a great help to the nurse caring for the mother. This is one of only a couple echographie machines in Gemena, a city of over 300,000.
