charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 The charity has provided £25,257 for
hospital running costs in 2024. This
predominantly contributes to medication
orders, staff salaries and a hospital

at the hospital. These clinicians
supported healthcare delivery and were
involved in training of local medical,
nursing and anaesthetic staff, as well as
the delivery of quality improvement
projects at the hospital. This was
mutually beneficial and the visiting
clinicians gained invaluable experience
of medicine and nursing in a challenging
and low resource environment.
