After an extensive survey of various areas in Togo, the survey team felt the Lord was leading them to begin a new medical work in the Plateau region specifically in Tsiko, approximately 30 minutes north of Kpalimé, home of our Blind School.

The construction of this hospital began in 1982 and was opened to the public for a new ministry outreach in the summer of 1985.  Over the years this hospital has grown to a 35 bed full service hospital.  We currently have 3 full time family practice physicians, 1 part-time surgeon and 1 full time Physician's Assistant.  We have 4 missionary nurses with 3 of them involved with our Nurses Training Program.

Here is how you can help with our Nursing Education program:

Nursing education program (due to change in exchange rate and some individuals who have not been able to support the program monthly, it looks like we will need funds for the final year of the nursing program – 2008.  Approximately $5,000 will probably be needed).  Account #:  076355: KKMCH Nurses Training Project.

To read a recent article on AIDS entitled "Plans to Stem the Tide in Togo" in The Message (A.B.W.E.'s) magazine written by one of our nurses, Brenda Mastin, click on HIV and you will be redirected to that site.

Have you ever considered taking a short-term mission's trip.  Here's an article "Following the Bright Red Van" written by Judy Hutton RN (a short term nurse) on a recent trip to this hospital.  If you would like to know more about how you can participate in a short term adventure as either a doctor or nurse, contact Dr. Russ Ebersole and mention you were on this site and would like more information.
 

If you would like further information or would be interested in helping meet some of these needs, please contact Dr. Russ Ebersole
