Fix Lombok Clinic Roof: Ensure Safety and Health

Our team went into Limbok after the 2018 devestating earthquakes and worked out of tents to deliver maternal and family health care. Then a generous donor built us a beautiful new clinic and the team was able to move out of the tents and into a dry, safe, secure building.

However, the builder used sub standard materials on the roof and high winds damaged the structure. The roof soon began to leak. The Lombok team was forced to repair the roof, replacing some of the most degraded sections. Now, that the work is done except for finishing, the team is able to operate again in a safe, dry, secure place and not place patients or staff at risk from faulty electrical systems or leaking water

Last year saw a lot of much-needed additions arrive at the Lombok clinic. A Bali-based yoga group provided them with a urgently-needed ambulance. Previously, women often arrived at the clinic in labor in the back of a truck or on a motorcycle. Now, our team can go and pick them up when they're in labor and also transport women to a nearby hospital if necessary. An American donor provided a motorbike for the Lombok midwives to visit women in their homes and deliver post-natal care. An Australian donor provided the clinic with a new ultrasound device so they can use this diagnostic technology to deliver the best care possible for pregnant moms. Now, that the roof is repaired, our Lombok clinic is fully-functional and well-equipped to help our mothers, familes and babies.
