See pictures of the container stuffed with orthopaedic, general and play equipment which we shipped out to the hospital in November 2006.
Holy Trinity is delighted to support their Beit Trust Hospital in Malawi's capital, Blantyre, which offers high-quality care for children who need corrective surgery; conducts research; trains doctors and surgeons, and in so doing demonstrates Christianity in action.
The hospital operates in the third world with first-world medical standards - combining physical healing with an emphasis on healing children's bodies, minds and spirits. The hospital tranforms lives - literally (scroll down to see images).
The hospital has a 50-bed children's ward, 16 semi-private rooms and two operating theatres. It concentrates on elective reconstructive surgery in children, including club feet, angular deformities such as bow legs and knock knees, malunited and ununited fractures, osteomyelitis, septic arthritis and TB of the spine.
