Shoulder to Shoulder has been working with leadership of the Hospital and Diocese for several years to plan a Reproductive and Child Health Center (RCH). Funding was secured by a generous donation by then Peter J King Family Foundation and many donors to Shoulder to Shoulder who made it possible to “raise the roof” of this RCH Center and projected maternity remodel. Construction started in June and is now nearly complete.
Our group toured the building on our first day and were impressed by the beautifully constructed, spacious building. There are tile floors, well-built walls, excellent doors and cabinets as well as a modern exterior. It is located near the entrance on new hospital property and is immediately next to the new Mother’s Waiting House where women near to deliver can stay.
After the RCH Center is completed, planning will focus on remodeling and expanding the Maternity ward. The architect and contractor for the maternity ward is expected to be Mr Maluli, director of FM Talents Partners. We were able to review the plan for maternity remodel with him. He needs to get updated hospital data as a part of revision of the plan.
It was wonderful for me personally meet Mr Maluli after working with him by email for the past 6 months in order to send funds after approval by the construction team from the hospital and Diocese. The result is outstanding!
