Medical Dr. Uta Steigler from Germany has donated the first ever solar fridge to MIFUMI Health centre to enable us to store our own drugs. Dr Steigler visited the health centre in 2004 and was impressed with the dedication of the staff.
The irregular power cuts have affected the health centre drug storage. Previously MIFUMI health centre had to keep its drugs at another health centre about 20 kilometres away from the health centre which proved to be a great inconvenience during emergencies. The solar fridge will solve these inconveniences.
MIFUMI is very grateful for this generous donation.
