Access to Primary Care
Maluti Adventist Hospital
Maluti Adventist Hospital was established in 1951 and is operated by the Seventh Day Adventist Church. This 160 bed hospital is situated in the village of Mapoteng in the Berea District of the Kingdom of Lesotho. Maluti Hospital offers a comprehensive range of health care services, primarily to the approximately 100,000 people living in the 264 villages in its health service area but many patients come from all other parts of the country as well.
There are over 5000 admissions to the hospital every year, including 1600 deliveries and 3000 operations. Additionally there are more than 120,000 visits to the out-patient departments and clinics.
As a consequence of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, their resources are being stretched to the limit. We are raising funds for a program called the destitute Patient Fund. As the name suggests this provides financial support to patients who would otherwise not be able to obtain health care.
