Summary
Based in the Western province of Zambia, Mwandi Mission Hospital provides quality healthcare to the people of this remote area. Their vision is to enable the enhancement and expansion of the hospital’s infrastructure and technologies and to provide specialty healthcare services for the benefit of the local population.
Challenge
While the hospital can provide care for many patients, were the range of services expanded, the community would be better served. Mwandi Mission Hospital seeks to make a difference not only in the provision of quality care in hospital, but in the everyday lives of the local community too, through outreach projects and social support.

The construction of a One Stop Centre at the hospital will support victims of Gender Based Violence (GBV), predominately women and girls. The dedicated space will enable the provision of a multitude of services, a space for a permanent police post, including necessary medical, para-legal, psychological and counselling support. The OSC will provide a discreet 24-hour integrated response for people experiencing GBV, ensuring prompt and comprehensive support to the victims. The centre will also raise awareness and educate the local community to promote a change in behaviours to address the drivers of GBV.

To expand the care it can offer, Mwandi Mission Hospital identified a need for more specialist nurses. In response, Hands Around the World is helping fund one-year training courses for critical care and theatre nurses.
This support not only strengthens the hospital’s capacity but also transforms the lives of the nurses—many of whom were volunteering while waiting for paid roles. With specialist qualifications, they’re more likely to secure employment and continue serving their community at Mwandi.
