Since 2016, STACC has supported the cost of running the Children’s Ward at St. John’s Hospital at Aber, in the north of the country. The ward admits about 4000 children annually and STACC’s contribution amounts to about 40% of the annual cost, including staff wages, medicines, laundry and other supplies. The main issues treated are malaria, upper respitory tract infections, and poor nutrition.
