On Nigerien National Women's Day, the women staff of World Vision Niger donated essential medical equipment to the Dosso Mother and Child Health Center, enabling the facility to fully operate a second operating theatre. Before the donation, the center had only one functional theatre, making it difficult to meet the growing demand for emergency obstetric and gynecological surgeries. According to Dr. Bacharou Adamou Mamane Sani, the lack of equipment and partners often delayed life-saving interventions. The donated equipment including an operating table, surgical lights, cesarean and gynecological surgical kits, warming lamps, and an oxygen concentrator has transformed surgical services. With two operational theatres, the center can now treat more than 15 patients daily, significantly reducing waiting times and improving emergency care. The new equipment has also enhanced working conditions for healthcare staff and contributed to reducing maternal and newborn mortality. Dr. Bacharou expressed his gratitude to World Vision Niger, emphasizing that this timely support has strengthened healthcare services and brought lasting benefits to women, newborns, and the wider Dosso community.
