Our Stories
What’s happening on the ground.
Ways to Give
Fund a Patient
A donation to the Benevolence Fund helps pay for the care of our poorest patients. Consider this:
- $200 pays for most of the surgeries we do
- $100 covers the cost of a typical medical admission
- $400 would pay for a patient’s orthopedic care, including the surgery to repair a broken bone and the hospitalization associated with it
All of our patients pay something, but some of our patients can’t pay more than the initial $2.00 consult fee. Any amount you give will change a life.
Speciality Service Building
Project description is still in development for adjacent land recently given to Soddo Christian Hospital by the Ethiopian government.
OR project, 8 new units
After years of planning, the Surgery Pavilion is under construction. This building contains 8 new operating rooms and will be outfitted with improved tables and equipment. These facilities will enable our staff to continue providing excellent patient care and increase our capacity to train African Christian surgeons. The former operating rooms will be reconfigured as surgery support space..
