January 2021: A new container arrives at our construction site
January 2021: The container is unloaded
The next container arrives at the construction site and is unloaded.
The container has to get through the driveway somehow! With concentration and caution, the helpers instruct the driver and guide the vehicle to its parking space.
The ceilings are being done in the stairwell. Plastering and stucco work are planned. Ventilators will later be installed under the stucco rosettes.
June 2021: Zahra Mark Mahama and Michaela Sanchez, who are currently on site in Ghana, clean and disinfect the incubators.
June 2021: Equipment and machines are checked for functionality so that they are ready for use when needed.
June 2021: Other equipment, such as loungers, etc. are also cleaned.
June 2021: The cleaned equipment is stored covered in a hall.
Despite the ongoing pandemic, construction work is progressing thanks to local workers. They are not returning to their villages so as not to endanger their families. For this reason, all workers sleep in our hospital building and each uses one of our mattresses to sleep on.
