The BBM stands for the implementation of the SDGs – recently for a project in Ethiopia
In cooperation with Caritas Vorarlberg the BBM counsels the Bushulo Mother and Child Specialty centre in Ethiopia on a reconstruction of the hospital. Many of the buildings are over 30 years old and no longer meet local standards. The new health centre will provide professional services in the fields of obstetrics, gynaecology and paediatrics. This further reduces the morbidity and mortality of mothers, new-borns and children. The project provides services contributing directly to the achievement of the SDGs (-> SDG No. 3 – good health and well-being).
This includes:
From the planning stage, it is ensured that the technologies used are locally adapted, meaning that they can be operated and maintained locally.
In addition, regular training and know-how transfer takes place, not only for the hospital staff but also for the technical service.
Additionally, the BBM supplies two urgently needed vehicles for the MIVA, an ambulance and an off-road vehicle, for the hospital– after all, a small relief.
