Appeal
We appeal to the people of good will to support us in this work. The will to serve is there but we are very short on resources
Being driven by their Charism of Motherhood emulating Mary Mother of God, the Institute established this Hospital with focus on the needs of mothers who are the most vulnerable and disadvantaged category given their role of child bearing. Hence the name “WOMEN’S MEDICAL CENTRE”. This however does not mean that the facility is discriminating against other categories of patients. The fact is that we render services to all patients including men and children.
