Getting lost in all the talk about Obamacare and health insurance? \u00a0Want to see some real information on what we<\/em> can do with $100?<\/p>\n

Soddo Christian Hospital is saving lives in southern Ethiopia, and spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ through evangelism and discipleship. \u00a0A hundred \u00a0bucks will go a long way in our hospital! \u00a0Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. An appendectomy for $100<\/strong>?? \u00a0You bet. \u00a0In the US, it costs around $30,000 to take out the old appendix. \u00a0But here, we do it for around $100. \u00a0This is a pretty common malady, especially among young people. \u00a0And it’s a “bread-and-butter” surgery that our residents need to learn.<\/li>\n
  2. Sometimes a surgery isn’t needed. \u00a0We see a lot of pediatric patients that just need some antibiotics and to drink plenty of fluids. \u00a0They might have a mild pneumonia or a little gastrointestinal illness. \u00a0Also, we sit and talk with mom about what’s going on. \u00a0(Doesn’t sound novel, but in this culture, parents don’t often get a lot of information about what’s going on.) \u00a0In the US, just one trip to the doctor with your kid would cost $100. \u00a0But in Soddo, we can see about 20 patients<\/strong> for that.<\/li>\n
  3. If admission to the hospital is required, we can do that. \u00a0We have over 100 beds for inpatient care of all types – pediatric, adult, medical, surgical, obstetric, and the list goes on. \u00a0In some countries, a hundred dollars wouldn’t even pay for 3 hours of care. \u00a0At Soddo Christian Hospital, that will cover more than 3 days of inpatient care<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  4. Having a baby? \u00a0A hundred dollars will pay for a Cesarean section<\/strong> and the associated care… completely! \u00a0In the West, this would cost $5,000. \u00a0We can do 50 C-sections for that. \u00a0In this country, women die during childbirth due to inability to get a C-section. \u00a0Not long ago, an Ethiopian woman had a 1 in 15 chance of dying in childbirth. \u00a0Now, it’s down to 1 in 67 because of improving health care. \u00a0(But still a long way from the rate in the US: 1 in 2,400).<\/li>\n
  5. We are passionate about teaching. \u00a0We believe that medical mission hospitals have a duty to train the next generation of providers in the country they serve. \u00a0And we are doing just that. \u00a0We have residents and medical students working and learning at the hospital, and all being influenced by the Gospel during their time here. \u00a0For a hundred dollars, we can provide medical textbooks and learning materials<\/strong> for one of those residents to use. \u00a0That’s the gift that keeps on giving.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We have begun our 100 for 100 campaign, and these are just a few examples of what that hundred bucks will buy! \u00a0We are looking for 100 donors to the hospital Benevolent Fund to cover costs of care for our poorest patients. \u00a0The pledge is 100 bucks a month for a year. \u00a0\u00a0And you can rest assured that one hundred percent of your gift will go to fund patient care!<\/p>\n
