Towards a new operating theatre

Insert in News the day January 28, 2010

It’s almost finished the renovation to have a new operating theatre at the Chake Chake hospital (Pemba island, Zanzibar, Tanzania). Until now a single operating theatre has been used for both general surgery and obstetric emergencies. Often obstetric emergencies interrupted the planned general surgery, causing troubles and delay to the patients and their family.
The Ivo de Carneri Foundation, already engaged in a project to support the surgical ward (Surgery Project), is now supporting also this renovating project and a new operating theatre is almost ready to be used for delivery.
