Women’s Health
Presently, our clinic helps and supports pregnant women where we can. Often this means financially assisting these women to attend antenatal care and delivery at Lenakel Hospital. Please help us and donate to assist these women deliver their babies safely.
An estimation of costs per person for one round trip with general transport is $6AUD but this can skyrocket to $140AUD per trip for emergencies.
Our immediate response is to seek donations for these women to provide funding enabling them to attend the clinic or hospital on a regular basis utilising local transport and when required, emergency vehicles.
Visit the Donate page and select the giving option "Emergency Patient Transport to Hospital" when donating.
The Clinic Nurse Tess is concerned for the wellbeing of local expectant mothers reluctant to attend maternity clinics due to the rough terrain and lack of funds for transport.
Sponsor an expectant mother by covering her costs for antenatal, delivery and postnatal care ($120 AUD). Maternity Care Plan sponsorship includes 12 months of care, and an emergency trip to the hospital if needed. See our Maternity Services page for full details of the Maternity Care Plan or download the PDF.
Why not consider an annual Maternity Care Plan sponsorship to guarantee the continued care of new antenatal patients?
