Tenwek Hospital: Nursery Renovation Fund

Partner with us as we expand our capacities in our NICU (Nursery Intensive Care Unit) at Tenwek Hospital. We provide advanced interventions such as surfactant, mechanical ventilation, bubble CPAP, advanced pediatric surgeries, and TPN, and have been seeing steady growth in both our numbers and acuity. However, we have outgrown our space and are regularly exceeding our capacity both in physical beds and oxygen and monitoring capabilities. With these renovations we will expand from 40 to 60 beds, increase our oxygen ports from 15 to 40, medical air ports from 2 to 21, suction ports from 1 to 21, double our number of monitors, as well as improve our ability to control infections and add the capacity to do skin-to-skin (kangaroo care) for our growing premature infants.
