Training, Blood Drives, and Protecting Frontline Workers

June brought tangible progress for both staff and patients at Rotifunk Hospital.

Thanks to donor support, meal stipends were delivered for ten CHO interns and one surgical intern now serving in the hospital. These modest contributions help offset daily living costs and allow interns to focus on patient care during their rural placements.

With monkeypox cases rising nationally, Mission of Hope sent funds for personal protective equipment to safeguard hospital staff and patients. Procurement is underway, reinforcing the hospital’s readiness to respond to outbreaks before they escalate.

Community engagement was also on display during a successful blood drive held on June 14. Volunteers donated blood after receiving food, basic hygiene supplies, and encouragement — a reminder that lifesaving care often begins with community generosity.

Hospital leadership continues to strengthen reporting and transparency. Lumeh has begun sharing quarterly and monthly data submitted to national health authorities, helping Mission of Hope better understand service levels, trends, and needs.

These efforts reflect a hospital that is not standing still — but steadily building systems that protect patients, staff, and the broader community.

Medical interns increase their skills and expertise at the hospital.
