The result was a large catch. Hungry people are less concerned with streets paved with gold than with their immediate needs. God's love shows through us and the Lutheran health care workers as improved health care is provided to those being served. Thank you for being a channel for that love. The first is to establish an annex to the Manambaro Hospital in the city of Fort Dauphin.
Fort Dauphin is the center of population in the area.
Formerly, persons in the city needing treatment could easily go to Manambaro. However, because of the depressed economy and new financial regulations, the cost of transportation has increased so much that many cannot afford to make the trip, especially if family members accompany them. The cost of transportation is often more than cost of hospitalization. The project will provide outpatient service to the people of Fort Dauphin. This service will increase patient receipts enough to make the Manambaro Hospital self-supporting for the first time.
