Newborn HIV Testing

Early testing saves lives our focus is to give every baby a healthy start. Our newborn HIV testing initiative with SAFE is donating state of the art testing equipment to rural hospitals in Zimbabwe ensures infants born to HIV-positive mothers receive timely diagnosis and care, and giving every baby a healthier start, full of hope, dignity, and the chance to thrive.

SAFE donated X-ray system to Rusitu hospital

SAFE organized a team including Dr Wendell Gibby, a radiologist and inventor, to travel to the Rusitu Mission Hospital in Eastern Zimbabwe . SAFE had donated a portable X-Ray system (designed by Dr Gibby) to the hospital in 2019 but power shortages and other problems had kept it from being fully functional. After downloading new software and some further instructional sessions with hospital personnel, the x-ray worked and patients lined up to get X-rayed.
