Having gone through the various departments at Malalai Maternity Hospital and spoken to the heads of those departments, HEEDA compiled a list of the most urgent needs of the hospital. We secured wheelchair donations from ICRC and hospital appliance donations from Asia Pharm Co. Upon delivering the goods, a head of a department told us that she was surprised that we delivered- they are so used to NGOs and Non-profits promising assistance but never delivering what was needed. One of the most important donations we attained was a ceiling light for the operating room in the hospital. They had been having serious problems mid-surgery, where the light was not functioning properly and would go out at very critical times. Addressing this problem would save many lives and serious complications during surgery.
