Completed more than 6 years ago, the 80 bed children’s ward is one of Bansang Hospital Appeal’s finest achievements. Since it has opened, child mortality rates have plummeted. The children have benefited enormously from a myriad of ‘firsts’ that the ward has introduced. The ward certainly wouldn’t have been funded and built in such short order without the tremendous support of the BBC, and in particular, the ‘Inside Out’ programming team from BBC Look East. Their initial documentary generated an incredible amount of interest when it was first aired in 2005.
I am therefore so very pleased to be able to upload their 2006 follow up documentary. It isn’t a long video, but it does really highlight what the children’s ward means to everyone in Bansang (myself included!). I hope you enjoy it;
