MSF has been supporting the District Headquarter Hospital in Timergara since 2009. Teams provide medical expertise in the emergency, resuscitation and observation rooms, as well as offering comprehensive emergency obstetric and neonatal care. MSF takes care of complicated obstetric cases, including surgery when needed. MSF’s services also include a neonatal unit for premature and low birth weight babies. In 2017, the unit was expanded from 18 to 34 beds, and upgraded to include an eight-bed ‘kangaroo mother care’ room, where mothers carry their newborns against their body. This practice uses the mother’s own warmth as a natural incubator, helping to regulate the babies’ temperature. The teams also offer regular health promotion sessions and psychological counselling to individuals and groups. In addition, MSF supports the hospital’s blood bank, emergency X-Ray department, and the laundry, sterilisation and waste management areas. Since March 2015, MSF has also run a cardiac corner in the Emergency Room to treat patients with cardiac emergencies.
