Namibia opens first paediatric operating room thanks to Scottish charity

A SCOTTISH charity has installed Namibia’s first paediatric operating room.

With 3000 pieces of equipment provided at the Windhoek Central Hospital (WCH) in the country’s capital, the state-of-the-art facility is already being used by paediatric teams, who previously had to adapt adult surgical equipment and facilities.

Namibia is the 22nd country to benefit from the Scottish registered charity Kids Operating Room (KidsOR).
