Last Mile Medicine – Current projects
The work happening right now, at the last mile.
Project 01
Medication Supply
Status: 80% of goal
We need around $1500 for more medication (called Tranexamic Acid) to prevent pregnant women and patients (especially children) who have had moped accidents from bleeding to death. The hospital is running short on this essential medication! $3 is enough to buy one dose of this lifesaving medication for a child with bleeding.
Currently, we are supplying medication to the Koh Kong Provincial Hospital, but with adequate funding, we will be able to provide this essential medication to other hospitals nearby!
Project 02
Operating Room Upgrade
Status: 20% of goal
Our hospital is the only hospital within a 5 hour radius capable of significant operating room procedures. Because of this, there is a critical need for more equipment, both replacable equipment such as cautery pads, as well as donations for laparoscopic equipment to allow for improved treatment of women with ruptured ectopic pregnancies. All together, this will cost around $20,000, and will provide high quality care to those who need it most.
Project 03
Medical Education and Training Partnerships
Status: Open
We are always attempting to find partners to help us with capacity building at our medical center. If you have expertise, we would be happy to help arrange lectures or hands-on trainings for our staff. If you can help in this aspect of our mission, please contact us at [email protected]
These projects finish because people like you step in.
Fund a medical supply. Train a health worker. Bring a lab online. Whatever you’re able to give, it goes straight to the last mile — where care is hardest to reach and matters the most.
