Chad hospital appeal
Hundreds of people arrive at Guinebor 2 Hospital in Chad every month, hoping that someone can help them.
Sometimes there are simply too many people and not enough beds. And a doctor has to do something they never want to do.
They have to turn a patient away.
MAI partner Guinebor 2 Hospital is known for the high-quality, affordable care it provides for the people of Chad.
Every year, its reputation grows. And every year, the number of people arriving at its doors grows, too.
As a result, the doctors at Guinebor 2 are increasingly facing the challenge of having no ward bed for the sick patient who’s arrived in the emergency unit.
But they have a plan to ensure they never have to turn someone in need away again.

And they need your support to make it happen.
No doctor wants to turn a sick patient away. With your help, the team at Guinebor 2 Hospital won’t ever have to again.

One doctor at Guinebor 2 Hospital shares how challenging it is to be faced with a sick patient, and have no bed to admit them to.
“What do I do?” he asks.
“Do I keep them on the floor in the emergency department, do I send them home knowing that I am not able to give them the level of care that they need, or do I search around the wards trying to find someone I can send home so that I can offer them a bed?”
