Below is a list of medical equipment and supplies that are needed urgently to beef up national stocks which are severely depleted. These will go a very long way in helping us to continue fighting the cholera epidemic, which still rages on, depriving many the opportunity to celebrate what should be a merry Christmas with their families and friends. Our medical staff particularly, is greatly overburdened and overworked and is struggling to make do with the little that is available. Recently, we had an incident where there was an outbreak of cholera in the town of Chegutu and only three nurses were available to handle over two hundred cases in one night with barely any supplies. Fortunately, Celebration Health was able to step in and help turn the situation around within a matter of hours, bringing with them drugs, supplies and equipment that had been donated by many generous donors all around the world, made up of international organisations, companies and individuals like yourself.

If you are reading this, there is something that you can do to help us win this war against cholera. Ask yourself what that is.

If you have identified a need that you can meet, or have any suggestions or comments, please send us an e-mail onmedical@celebrationmin.org telling us how you would like to help.
