Nzega Hospital 2017 Update

The new Nursing School is now open and, with an eye to the future, can have another storey added as demand and funds allow. The old one is used as an additional dormitory and its electrical circuitry has been upgraded by our colleagues at Friends of Nzega.

Further discussion with the DMO Dr Sengo about much needed additional nurse training was fruitful. A scheme is now in place to enable nurses at the hospital to upgrade their skills, with the fees for the two year course paid by FUM and FON. There has also been progress to provide support for local people who cannot afford the basic nurse training course. After completion of their course they are expected to work at Nzega hospital for three years.
