FBC McKinney to Uganda

Breathing Oxygen

into

Mengo Hospital

The Oxygen Plant is operational! After 3 years of work, the plant arrived at Mengo Hospital on December 24 and was installed and handed over to the hospital on January 12. The commissioning was January 27. In the past, Mengo Hospital relied on heavy cylinders of oxygen produced as a byproduct of a roofing manufacturer. The system was unreliable, unsafe, and not cost effective. FBC McKinney partnered with Mengo Hospital to purchase an Oxygen Generating Plant so that the hospital staff in the Neonatal Unit, the Emergency Room, the ICU, and the Operating Room can provide oxygen to the sickest patients at Mengo when their life depends on oxygen.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to glorify God through our Christian partnerships with Mengo Hospital in Kampala and at Rukungiri Modern Primary School in western Uganda.

Over the past 30 years, Uganda has been ravaged by AIDS. However, international funding coupled with strong Ugandan leadership has led to a reduction in the prevalence of AIDS from 30% to 7%. Now modern diseases such as diabetes and hypertension are emerging that can lead to cardiovascular disease. Due to educational and equipment limitations, Mengo Hospital is eager for assistance to develop programs to identify and treat these modern health issues.

Since 2008, our team has worked alongside doctors and nurses, building them up and affirming their work in a challenging medical environment as they seek to be pioneers in Emergency Medicine, Critical Care, and the Neonatal Unit. Our desire is to give the hope of Christ and spiritual confidence to enable the local healthcare providers to treat Ugandans with critical illnesses.

To God Be the Glory!
