Our Plan
1
Phase One:
Peter Njenga to Return
Hope and Health Akot Sudan commissioned Peter Njenga to return to Akot in January 2025. His report is the basis for the first phase of the renovations. This will include repairs of the fence, water, power, roofs, screens, and doors.

Phase Two:
March Expansion of Site
Dr. Deal and Daven Acker are returning to the site in March to plan an expansion of the site to include staff housing, development of lab site and services, and an operating theatre. We also plan to install a high-speed internet system to allow future telemedicine consultations.
Several exciting developments are making this a feasible and sustainable project including staff salary support from UNICEF and medical supply commitments from the South Sudanese Ministry of Health.
Of even greater importance is the fact the Dr. China Kuot, a native of Akot, has now completed his medical training and is willing to return and join Dr. Clark McIntosh to manage and treat patients.

Phase Three:
Supplement Medical Packets & Birthing Kits
After the capital improvements are complete, assuming again that funding allows, we plan to supplement medical packets and birthing kits supplied by the Ministry of Health as well as the salaries of key personnel.
