Mukinge Hospital, Zambia
In partnership with International Barcodes Ltd, we support SIM Zambia to provide life-saving medical care at Mukinge Hospital, located 10 hours from the nation's capital.
Critical Care in Rural Zambia
Mukinge serves a vast region with extremely limited medical resources. The hospital is a lifeline for a growing population, providing everything from emergency trauma surgery to maternal healthcare.
The Challenge
30% Increase in Patients
While patient numbers have surged over the last three years, government funding has remained flat, leading to critical shortages of life-saving medications and supplies.
Trauma & Emergency
The team handles high volumes of motorbike accident trauma, severe burns, and seasonal snake bites—all requiring rapid intervention and surgical expertise.
Specialized Care
In 2024, Mukinge hosted visiting pediatric surgeons, allowing local children to receive complex procedures that are typically unavailable in rural regions.
Medication Support
Our funds help cover the cost of essential medications and anesthetics, ensuring safe surgeries continue despite flat government funding.
Surgical Infrastructure
Equipped to manage complex wound care, skin grafts, and amputations, Mukinge remains a vital hub for healthcare in Zambia's North-Western Province.
