Buyé Hospital Maternity Ward

The ACW led a fundraising campaign to equip the newly-expanded Buye Hospital Maternity Ward with beds, mattresses, sheets and blankets. Every year, approximately 5,400 women from the surrounding municipalities of Buye, Burundi give birth in the hospital, located just down the road from All Saints' Anglican Cathedral. Funding from our diocesan REACH Campaign and PWRDF allowed for an expansion of the severely crowded ward from three rooms to six. Conditions for expectant mothers have vastly improved with the addition of a second delivery room and separate rooms for women who have had C-sections and complications of pregnancy. The walls and ceiling of the original maternity ward were also repaired, modern windows installed and the roof and sidewalk replaced.
