The Hospital

Murambinda Mission Hospital (MMH) is the Designated District Hospital for Buhera District in Manicaland Province, Zimbabwe. The Hospital was founded in 1968 by the Sisters of the Little Company of Mary (LCM), under the Catholic Church’s Archdiocese of Harare. The Hospital carries out its mission to care for the poor by serving a population of around 300,000 people in an area with a diameter of 200 kilometres.

The hospital is led by Sr Fyllis of LCM, the Hospital Executive Manager and Sr Tawodzera is Matron, and Dr Shelton Kwiri as District Medical Officer. They are supported by a Management Board and Hospital Executive Committee.

The aim of improving the health services for all the people of Buhera and to be a “Pool of Healing” continues to be pursued with energy and dedication.

The District

Buhera District consists mainly of ‘Communal Land’. This means there is no title ownership of land, (except within designated growth points, Murambinda and Birchenough Bridge). Land use is governed through a system of traditional leaders and elected councillors. Buhera covers an area of 5,364 km[2] . The area suffers from very low rainfall, and a miniscule land area is under irrigation. Irregular rainfall leads to poor harvests and food shortages.

Through hard work and experience gained from previous periods of hardship, the population of Buhera has developed a remarkable capacity for survival. Poverty remains a great hindrance to the development of Buhera and its people. MMH, among others, aims to assist the community to overcome these hurdles.

Message from the Chair

Building care through sharing

This year we have been delighted to welcome aboard three new Trustees. Drs Huw Howells, Izzy Terrington, and Matthew Anderson have all spent time at Murambinda Mission Hospital and give us fresh insights and energy.

In March Carolyn Rigby, our Treasurer, and Richard her husband, visited the Hospital to listen to staff, management and patients and to learn from their experiences. Richard and Carolyn had worked as doctors at Murambinda from 1994-1996, and Carolyn has made several visits since. Their visit was a time to rekindle old friendships, to look at how past projects that we have funded are faring, and to discuss current challenges and how the Hospital management plan to address them. These visits by Trustees supplement our twice yearly joint online meetings with Hospital Management. At both the meetings, and the visits we learn a great deal, and both reflect our philosophy of working in partnership as friends, not as passive givers and receivers.

In this report you will see the wide range of projects that your donations have funded in the last year. From toilets to medicines, from salaries to water tanks, from catering equipment to new hospital flooring.

Thank you for your generosity. Please continue to support us in the exciting year ahead, as we grapple with questions such as these:

We cannot solve these international problems, but we can make a difference to this particular place, and these particular people.

With your help, we can help provide the tools that the great pool of talent at Murambinda Mission Hospital are asking for; so that they can get on with the job.

Dr Mike Thompson Chair of Friends of Murambinda Hospital

We are happy to submit the final report for the water tank installation project at Murambinda Mission Hospital. The project was designed to improve the hospital’s water storage capacity and reliability. The project involved procuring and installing two water tanks with a total capacity on 24,000litres.

Murambinda Mission Hospital had a total water storage capacity of 85,000 liters which could run for four to five days without interruptions. Water tanks leaks reduced our capacity down to 25,000 liters which could not last a day. The new tanks have increased our water capacity to a total of 49,000 liters.

Water and sanitation are key to good hygiene practices, and good hygiene practices promote good health. A safe and clean water supply is required at the hospital for the following applications

Conclusion

We would like to thank FMH for supporting the water tanks project at Murambinda Mission Hospital. The water tank installation project has successfully improved the hospital’s water storage capacity and reliability, supporting patient care and hospital operations.

INTRODUCTION

Teenage pregnancy is a global challenge that continues to impact the lives of young people even in Buhera district. It is a complex issue with far-reaching consequences for both individuals and society. Early childbearing often interrupts education, limits economic opportunities, and increases the risk of health complications for both mother and child. To address this pressing issue, a multifaceted approach is necessary. This report will delve into various strategies and initiatives that CARC used aimed at preventing teenage pregnancy in ward 10 Buhera District. We will explore the effectiveness of the project through its activities such as comprehensive sex education, access to contraception, youth development programs, and community-based interventions. By understanding the factors contributing to teenage pregnancy and implementing evidence-based solutions, everyone can work towards a future where young people have the power to make informed choices about their sexual and reproductive health.

Baseline Survey

In the first quarter CARC conducted a baseline survey in ward 10. The team saw it beneficial to consult the Department of Social Development (DSD), District Development Officer (DDC), Buhera Rural District Council, Murambinda Mission Hospital ,community and religious leaders these offices and individuals are the gate keepers in the communities. By gathering firsthand information through focus group discussions and interviews, we gained a comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced by teenage mothers and pregnant teenagers in the area and the strategies that can be employed to address them. Also, focus group discussions with young people at 3 schools in ward 10 which included St John’s Chifamba high school, Hande High school and St Micheal’s Mambo Secondary School were conducted. The team saw it beneficial for the youth to provide valuable insights into their

10

knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding sexual health and relationships. This information was used to tailor interventions to their specific needs and preferences. Parents and teen mothers were also interviewed through focus group discussions and a lot of information was gathered to foster a meaningful approach towards helping teenagers.

Figure showing parents and guardians group discussing during one of the group discussion.

RESULTS OF THE PROJECT

Ward 10, Buhera District, has made significant strides in preventing teenage pregnancy through a concerted effort involving multiple stakeholders. Key strategies and initiatives that have been successfully implemented include:

Comprehensive Sexuality Education

After the training of volunteers which include teachers at the 3 secondary schools the project has successfully managed to motivate schools to engage in age-appropriate sex education into their school curricula, empowering young people with knowledge about sexual health, relationships, and contraception. This was achieved through guidance and counseling sessions that are being done at the schools.

Enhanced Access to Reproductive Health Services:

The project has helped the community in establishing Youth-friendly health services at Munyanyi clinic. The services include providing confidential and accessible services, including family planning, STI testing, and counseling. Also through village health workers in the communities’ teenagers now have access to protection and can now practice safe sex however abstinence counseling sessions are also offered before issuing of condoms. CARC was implementing the Rapid Response to Elnino Induced drought which had the youth hub element where we distributed 120 reusable sanitary pads and the 3 secondary schools benefited. They also received health education from the nurse from Murambinda mission hospital on sexual Reproductive Health. Mobile outreach programs with Murambinda Mission hospital were also done where education and contraceptives were issued to the hard to reach populations from the apostolic sect.

12

Community Mobilization and Awareness Campaign

Community and religious leaders have actively engaged in raising awareness about the risks of teenage pregnancy and promoting positive behaviours through sensitization at public events, during church gatherings and also during community court sessions. We have learnt that these are very influential members within the society and their involvement in the prevention of teenage pregnancy is very crucial. By punishing perpetrators and by teaching their congregants these leaders are very important.

LESSONS LEARNT

1. There is need for Empowerment Programs for Young Women:

Programs focused on empowering young women through education, skills training, and economic opportunities should be implemented to delay early marriage and pregnancy. There is much need to involve the youth in these projects since they are the primary targets. More so parents and guardians

2. Collaboration and Partnerships:

Strong partnerships between government agencies, NGOs, and community-based organizations have facilitated the sharing of resources, expertise, and best practices. By combining these strategies, Ward 10 has witnessed a positive impact on reducing teenage pregnancy rates and improving the overall well-being of young people.

RECOMMENDATIONS

1. Expand the Reach of Comprehensive Sexuality Education:

2. Enhance Access to Youth-Friendly Health Services:

3. Strengthen Community Engagement:

14

4. Economic Empowerment Programs:

5. Monitoring and Evaluation:

Conclusion

CARC would like to thank FMH by helping with Funds to implement these activities; however we can further empower young people Buhera District to make informed choices about their sexual and reproductive health through enrolling the project to other wards.

We are happy to submit the final report for the pharmacy project. The project aimed to procure essential drugs and sundried for Murambinda Mission Hospital to ensure uninterrupted healthcare services to the community.

The hospital experienced frequent shortages of essential medication and sundries evidenced by stock outs and patients were being referred to private pharmacy in Murambinda that affected our health delivery system.

Disrupted patient care – Impacted patient treatment and care hence a drop in OPD attendances and inpatient was noted during that period.

Intervention

We managed to procure essential medications and sundries addressing immediate shortages. We extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generous support in addressing the drug and sundry shortages at Murambinda Mission Hospital. Your contribution has made a significant impact on our ability to provide quality patient care.

Outcome.

The project achieved the following outcomes

  1. Improved availability of essential medications and sundries – evidenced by reduced stock outs and ensured continuity of patient care.

  2. Enhanced patient care- Patients are now receiving timely treatment without interruptions

22

Conclusion

The project successfully addressed drugs and sundry shortages, ensuring continuity of patient care and improving hospital operations. Thanks to your support, our pharmacy stocks improved by 10%, allowing us to cover two months worth of medication. This was a remarkable milestone, as our inpatients and outpatients no longer had to seek medication from parallel pharmacies. Your contribution had a direct and positive impact on the lives of our patients.

Medical student electives

The trustees of the Friends of Murambinda Hospital have promoted and facilitated the placing of medical students on elective a policy the hospital has welcomed.

A helpful guide for medical students considering an elective at Murambinda Mission Hospital has been produced by FMH trustees Drs Isabella Terrington and Huw Howells.

Walter Buttery, a medical student at Kings and The London School of Medicine recently returned from his elective. Extracts from his thoughtful and informative report are reproduced below.

Changing pattern of HIV in Murambinda

Before arriving in Murambinda, I had heard from previous elective students about their experiences. The impression I gained was that HIV had, at one point, placed an enormous strain on Murambinda Mission Hospital (MMH), with a large proportion of patients in the wards affected by the virus. However, the current situation has evolved. With the introduction and widespread use of antiretroviral therapy (ART), the medical community has made significant progress in controlling HIV. As a result, the hospital now sees more patients presenting with non-communicable diseases such as congestive cardiac failure (CCF) and hypertension (HTN).

That said, HIV has by no means disappeared. I still encountered many patients living with HIV, often facing complications either due to side effects of treatment or, more commonly, due to poor adherence to their medication regimen. This highlights that while HIV is now better controlled, ongoing efforts are essential to manage a substantial HIV-positive population.

In the broader global health context, one of my key concerns is the potential withdrawal of international aid and funding for HIV treatment. Such changes could jeopardize the progress made and risk a resurgence of the disease, particularly in low-resource settings like Murambinda.

While MMH has made commendable efforts to mitigate the impact of limited infrastructure, the surrounding town and rural district are far less supported. In these areas, power and clean water are often unreliable. This has serious implications for the management and prevention of communicable diseases such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, and cholera. Without consistent electricity, refrigeration for vaccines and medications is compromised. Inadequate water supply and poor sanitation increase the risk of outbreaks, especially of waterborne diseases like cholera.

To improve public health outcomes under these constraints, strategies such as expanding solar infrastructure, community-based health education, mobile health units, and investment in basic sanitation infrastructure are essential. Supporting community clinics with off-grid energy solutions and water purification systems could significantly enhance disease prevention and control in the wider Buhera District.

24

Personal and Professional Growth

During my elective at Murambinda Mission Hospital (MMH), I was exposed to a broad range of clinical experiences, primarily in the theatre and outpatient departments. Practicing medicine in this resource-limited setting posed significant challenges. Often, the lack of diagnostic tests, or patients being unable to afford them, meant that clinicians had to rely heavily on clinical judgement. Diagnoses were sometimes based more on presenting symptoms, medical history, and clinical judgment, rather than expensive confirmatory investigations.

Despite these constraints, I was deeply impressed by the clinical expertise of the local doctors, particularly in managing infectious diseases common to the region. Their familiarity with complications and opportunistic infections in HIV/AIDS was remarkable. I encountered conditions such as Kaposi’s sarcoma, something I had only previously studied in textbooks, which underscored the clinical burden of HIV in this context.

MMH continues to treat a high number of tuberculosis (TB) cases, and a smaller but significant number of malaria cases. These illnesses appeared routine for the medical team, though conversations with clinicians revealed growing concerns about drug-resistant TB strains. I also learned that while malaria is now less common in the area, the cases that do present are often severe and require intensive management.

This elective enhanced my clinical and problem-solving skills, as I was constantly required to think critically in the absence of extensive investigations. It also developed my communication and adaptability, as I had to work effectively with patients and staff from different backgrounds. It was often difficult to navigate the language barrier with patients especially.

Final Thoughts

Overall, my time at Murambinda Mission Hospital was humbling. The experience deepened my appreciation for the resilience and ingenuity required to deliver patient care in lowresource environments. MMH continues to be a vital central hub for the people of Buhera. Supporting their work, whether through donations, infrastructure support, or by encouraging more electives and volunteers is more than worthwhile.

Trustees

There are nine trustees. Dr Matthew Anderson, Dr John Connolly, Dr Huw Howells, Mrs. Mary Miller, Dr Carolyn Rigby, Dr Isabella Terrington, Dr Michael Thompson, Dr Michael Thomson and Dr Nienke van Trommel of SVMH as a trustee based in the Netherlands. All of them have worked at or been involved in other ways at Murambinda Hospital in the past.

N.B. All money donated went to Murambinda Mission Hospital. The trustees bear all administrative costs themselves and give their time freely. No money is spent on fundraising, advertising or management.

It is with deep sadness that the trustees heard of the passing of Ineke Sipkema, mother of Nienke van Trommel. Ineke was the leading light in Stichting Vrienden Murambinda Hospital (SVMH) who worked tirelessly and devotedly to raise funds for the hospital. She will be sorely missed by family, friends, FMH trustees and the staff at the hospital.
