In May, NWHCM staff finished the initial phase of moving in to the mission’s new maternity center, which is now open.  The center now includes four patient rooms and a four-bed delivery room.  In coming months, our maternity facility will also include an OR, two exam rooms, and a premature infant room with incubators and oxygen concentrators.

In addition to routine deliveries, NWHCM’s maternity center offers care for high-risk patients with pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, as well as infant care and post-partum care for mothers and infants.  It also serves as a first-line ER, where staff primarily treat lacerations, burns, dehydration and congestive heart failure.

Thanks to a renewed partnership with FAME, an Indianapolis-based medical ministry, the maternity center opened with a strong inventory of medical supplies, including new delivery beds and incubators.

NWHCM is grateful to FAME and all the generous partners who made the new maternity center a reality.  On average, the mission’s staff deliver more than 80 babies a month.
