New Solar Power Station
In 2023, our hospital’s solar system doubled in capacity, pairing high-efficiency panels with upgraded inverters and battery storage to keep lifesaving equipment running even during outages. The result is quieter wards, a protected vaccine cold-chain, fewer generator hours, and lower operating costs and emissions—freeing resources for patient care. Next, we’re expanding storage and training local technicians to sustain performance for years to come.
Staff Training
We invest in people as much as in buildings. Every new staff member begins a supported pathway that blends structured onboarding, bedside mentoring, and cross-training across nursing, midwifery, medicine, radiography, and equipment maintenance. Short, shift-friendly modules and hands-on sessions build confidence in clinical skills and first-line troubleshooting, while senior preceptors and visiting specialists provide ongoing coaching. This approach means safer care, faster responses, and higher equipment uptime across every shift.
Infrastructure
In 2024/25, with the leadership of the FSTTN Architects, our Board and the generosity of donors and major sponsors, we designed, planned, and built a new Paediatric Centre while addressing essential campus repairs. The Centre’s child-centred layout, family spaces, and isolation-ready bays improve safety, privacy, and flow, helping clinicians see and stabilise children sooner. Campus-wide upgrades to roofing, electrics, lighting, water systems, and access points have made care safer and more reliable throughout. Next steps include equipping additional treatment bays, landscaping a shaded play garden, and extending paediatric outreach into the community.
Future Plans
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
Friends of St Teresa Nzara have collaborated with Sudan Relief Fund and African Mission Healthcare in the design of the new Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
The foundations have been laid and work is expected to be complete in May 2026 .
A dedicated NICU with trained staff will help reduce the high neonatal mortality rate due to prematurity and home birth complications as well as maternal illness.
Adolescent pregnancies contribute significantly to high risk birth and malaria to prematurity.
Stable power for humidicrib care , oxygenation , early breast feeding and mother to child skin contact have reduced neonatal mortality significantly .
Diagnostic Centre and Specialist Clinics
Friends of St Teresa Nzara is assisting in plans to transform the old Tuberculosis ward into a Diagnostic Centre with Specialist Clinics.
The TB ward was housed in the original English Club from the 1950's Azande Project and remains with solid foundations and walls .
Re roofing and internal renovation is required to provide areas for Xray, Ultrasound examination , orthopaedic and high risk pregnancy clinics. The estimated cost is US$100,000.
