Urgent appeal update
22nd Jan 2021
URGENT! Please help! Cases of coronavirus are escalating at Chitambo. 3 more in the past 24 hours, amongst student nurses. This new variant is spreading like wildfire. We have a CORRA Foundation microgrant of £500 to assist with PPE but the hospital's basic requirement is closer to £3,000. Please see the list below. Donations can be made as follows:
- Online through our Total Giving function on this website: https://friendsofchitambo.org.uk/ OR
- Direct to our account number: 00684176; Sort Code: 832610 OR
- Email Dr Jo Vallis, Chair,for other options:jovallis@hotmail.com
Please help us reach our target. ALL will go on purchasing essential requirements on the ground at Chitambo where they have next to no oxygen to treat patients. Thank you. Your help will save lives.
