At the Katondwe Mission Hospital, every day brings new challenges. Our reality is full of very tough moments, when we feel powerless, intertwined with the times that give us great satisfaction from the help we have provided. It is a great joy and a commitment for the future. We want to provide our patients with constant care of the highest possible standard and to constantly improve the conditions in the Hospital. Usually, the reality of life in Africa, in Zambia, is very different from the standards and convenience we know. Nevertheless, we make sure to end each day with a sense of a job well done and gratitude for all the good that has occurred. Of course, it would not be possible without the support of our Donors, for which we are very grateful.
That was a day full of emotions, happiness, laughter during the shared trip. The time spent there gave everyone unforgettable moments that will remain in our hearts forever...
Lately, we have been lucky to host guests from Poland who come to Katondwe Mission Hospital to perform a number of important surgeries, all of them as voluntary service. We have just bid our farewells to Ula and Sara and we have already welcomed a whole gynaecological and surgical team with an anaesthesiologist and a scrub nurse. Members: Katarzyna Cybula (a surgeon from the Czerniakowski Hospital in Warsaw), Anna Madej (gynaecologist from Uniwersyteckie Centrum Zdrowia Kobiety i Noworodka in Warsaw), Anna Borkowska (anaesthesiologist from the Czerniakowski Hospital),
Last week, we hosted representatives from Swiss organisation SolidarMed, which supports hospitals and medical facilities in Africa, as well as the SolidarInvest-Zambia organisation (SolidarMed-founded) and the Hilthi Foundation. Such visits take place every 2-3 years to verify the effects of cooperation and planning further joint activities.
Easter is a time of hope and strengthening the faith
We would like to wish you a lot of hope, love, continuous optimism, serenity and family warmth.
We also wish you kindness and mutual understanding for both your loved ones and strangers.

The beginning of Holy Week
Yesterday was the first day of Holy Week – a very important time in the Church. It is the remembrance of the events leading to the salvation of the world. In the chapel at our Sacred Heart Hospital, people gathered with green palm leaves in their hands. We celebrated together with the liturgy of Palm Sunday that way – the symbol of Jesus entering Jerusalem five days before his crucifixion. Attending the Holy Mass on that day means that we agree to carry the cross, suffer together with Christ and accept our lives as given to us by God.

Doctor Ula and doctor Sara in Katondwe
For three weeks, we are hosting in Katonde Mission Hospital doctor Ula Dryja (a paediatrician) and doctor Sara Woźniak (an anaesthesiologist). The doctors have their hands full right from day one, when comprehensive assistance was needed during a c-section followed by full care for the new-born baby. Ula works in paediatrics field all the time, while Sara is deeply engaged in anaesthesiologic tasks. They complement each other in their work. We have received some medicines and small equipment from them.
We are happy to share the news that a shipment of medical equipment from Poland arrived at Katondwe Mission Hospital on February 23. The pandemic has thwarted plans with an earlier pallet shipment, but we have succeeded 😊, the equipment is already at the hospital. Thanks to the Polish Medical Mission Association for organizing the shipment.
Our gentlemen have their hands full to properly prepare the equipment for operation.
Sometimes it is difficult to express thankfulness for the kindness, which comes from you.
