BHA Winter Appeal 2023/24

Bansang Hospital Staff Sponsorship and Lifesaving Pharmaceuticals

This year’s appeal focuses on the two most important areas within the hospital, the nursing staff and the supply of pharmaceuticals.  Without doubt the standards of nursing within the hospital is exemplary. I have witnessed on my many visits the skill, professionalism and care that the nursing staff deliver with many going over and above the call of duty to achieve the best outcomes for their patients. The Bansang Hospital is a beacon of hope for the rural health clinics and the 600,000 people that rely on its existence for their healthcare needs.

This year has been the toughest year in our thirty one year history, since the cost of living crisis we have seen a sharp drop in standing order donations which underpin our incredible charity.

Currently the Bansang Hospital Appeal pays the wages of 35 truly amazing staff with 9 staff that are fully sponsored. This year’s appeal is to encourage new sponsors to cover the wages of the remaining 26 staff. This would free up £30,000 that could be redirected to other critical areas within the hospital that are on our most urgent to-do list.

Please join the BHA Family by helping to support a Nurse Attendants wage with a monthly donation of perhaps £5, £25, £50 or £100 per month as this would cover a Nurse Attendants wage in full, in return you will receive the Nurse’s name and an annual update on their progress.

Lifesaving Pharmaceutical supplies are a daily necessity, these include antibiotics, pain relief and IV fluids to name but a few. The BHA is now able to purchase these in The Gambia when funds are available.

The options available to support this Appeal

Would you be willing to donate a monthly sum of £5, £25, £50 or even £100 a month which would be the perfect donation as it would cover the monthly wages of a Nurse Attendant in full. In return you will receive the name of your Nurse Attendant plus annual updates.
or
A one-off donation that would go towards the always in demand Pharmaceutical Purchasing Fund.

Monthly donations allows us to forecast expenditure throughout the year, without monthly donations our charity simply couldn’t exist, that is how important they are!
