Thanks to the generous  donations made so far
IcFEM Dreamland Mission Hospital (DMH) has managed to buy a
clinical chemistry machine, full blood count machine, orthopaedic
oven and oxygen. The theatre is open and club foot surgery, eye and cleft lip
surgery are running as part of the hospitals everyday work. DMH now does over
60 surgeries a month and sees over 50,000 patients a year -thank you!! 
Our next project is to fund a new X-ray machine and a building to house
it. 

This JustGiving page is used to both buy equipment and – if
requested by the donor – to pay for needy patients to have treatment or sponsor
them on an insurance scheme. A small gift can go a long way. Below is a
bit more information about the hospital. Please feel free to read on at your
leisure!

IcFEM DMH, original called IcFEM Dreamland Medical Care Centre,
was set up in 1999, with the ground floor of the phase 1 new building being
opened in 2003, and Mission Hospital status obtained in 2012. DMH provides good
quality care at affordable prices for the rural community in the Mount Elgon
and Bungoma area of Western Kenya. IcFEM DMH aims to work with the government
hospitals in order to provide a gap filling service for the health care needs
of the community.

It runs a comprehensive outpatient service, including a 24/7
assessment by clinical officers, basic laboratory testing, pharmacy,
orthopaedics, physiotherapy, child welfare clinics, family planning, ante natal
and post natal care.  DMH is staffed by over 130 paid Kenyan clinical
and support staff. The IcFEM motto of “Holy living and hard work” runs through
the core working principles of the staff at DMH. They aim to give time and
energy, skill and dedication to each patient and to provide quality care to
each individual.

In 2011 the second floor of DMH was completed providing much
needed basic X-ray (which now needs replacing), ultrasound and dental services
as well as various consultation rooms for visiting medical
staff.  The X-ray and Ultrasound service is very busy and running
self-sufficiently. The dental service provides dental hygiene, education and
treatments not previously available to the community.

A specialised eye theatre was also finished and equipped at the
end of 2011. The eye team now assess over 500 eye patients a month providing
medication for eye diseases and reading glasses where
required.  Thanks to a grant, eye surgery is provided at a
significantly subsidised cost, allowing this poor community to access it. Since
opening the new eye theatre in Dec 2011, the eye team has done 40 cataract
operations a month, restoring sight to the blind.

In 2014 we became a full hospital, with 80 beds and a
dedicated main theatre. We provide free surgery to disabled children, as
well as fistula surgery, adult orthopaedic surgery and
emergency maternity care. 

DMH is a growing Mission Hospital; with a focus on showing God’s
love through the care and hard work of the staff. It requires ongoing support to
keep growing and to allow local people to receive quality health care at a
price they can afford.
