Expanding access to sexual and reproductive health in crises

In the two years since the Misuhuko Medical Center in Burundi opened, they have seen an average of one thousand patients each month, including maternal care and HIV screening. The center faced a significant challenge, having to transfer pregnant people in need of a cesarian section to a neighboring facility. With the support of a project started by the Musama Friends Church and with the engagement of the local community, a clinic is being built. This clinic will be fully functional in providing a cesarian section, reducing unnecessary travel by laboring patients. The local community who the clinic serves raised funding to support the facility's building, but the medical staff are still fundraising for additional assets to make the service fully operational.
