Those services have been completely absent until recently due to a lack of space and above all adequate skills. In Uganda, disability is often seen as an evil to be eradicated and those affected by it as people to be abandoned.

For this reason, our intervention will also have an important impact on the social life of people with disabilities [....]

Along the way, there were many challenges, mainly due to the scarcity of available resources and the extremely remote context in which the hospital operates, far from urban centres and the main communication routes, in a very poor region.

Despite this, many fundamental goals have been achieved in Kalongo in recent years: [...]

And I am still amazed and moved, as well as in front of the eyes of future midwives, full of confidence in the future.
I believe that Blessed Father Giuseppe has left us a legacy to carry on. A gift to be preserved for the future of our and Kalongo's children, a tacit alliance of closeness, help and sharing between us and this welcoming, strong and tenacious person.

Unfortunately, in consideration of the evolution of the Ebola epidemic, which is affecting Uganda, with certified cases also in
the capital Kampala, in compliance with the alert indications of all the international agencies, the Foundation, while maintaining an
attitude of prudence to protect the individual and of the community, with great regret, decided not to participate in the presence of the beatification ceremony of Father Giuseppe Ambrosoli in Kalongo.

The new, large and more functional spaces allow the staff to work better, having the situation of the most critical patients always under control. And
today, all this is more important than ever: the children hospitalized in paediatrics are increasingly often in critical condition. They require great skills, high attention and, of course, a lot of resources.

I met children under ten with no one around, whose only hobby, for those lucky enough to have a bed by the window, is to observe
the world outside. They looked at me in silence, lying in their beds, with their legs in traction due to falling from the trees to pick fruits. Often that would be the only meal of the day. When I asked why they were alone, the very kind nurse who accompanied me replied that the mothers had gone to look for work in the fields to pay for their treatment and to bring them food. Some children can access a meal only thanks to the relatives of other patients who share with them the little they have.

Father Giuseppe Ambrosoli is being beatified on 20^th November 2022 in Uganda, after a two-year delay and a long wait due to Covid 19- pandemic.

We are joyful and grateful for his beatification. We are looking forward to sharing with all of you all the events being organized to celebrate such a long waited moment: it’s a unique opportunity to encounter and remember once again the remarkable personality of Father Giuseppe, who is still a source of surprise and inspiration these days. His encouragement helps us to persevere in supporting the miracle of Kalongo Hospital.

Exactly 65 years after the foundation of the Hospital named after him and in the year of his beatification, I wonder about the future of this extraordinary endeavour, his effort to guarantee equal rights and access to medical care and schooling to everybody. A very vital institution in an area which is now even more neglected, poor and unknown to the world.

The present situation is quite uncertain, it’s a long way to go, and sometimes it feels endless.

These days, looking at the terrible events we are witnessing, let’s not be overwhelmed by a feeling of helplessness, which distress us all. Following the path of resilience revealed by Father Giuseppe, we intend to continue our work in truthfulness and hope, doing our best to promote a more honest and fairer world.

We intend to persist in conceiving new growth and development paths, together with the Hospital and the midwifery school, to provide tangible solutions to the needs of the more vulnerable people in the community. This will also offer a better future to these two organizations, which are vital to the survival of thousands of people each year.

The Hospital informed us of their many, significant needs: old buildings’ portions need to be renovated, plumbing, electrical and power systems, together with the waste disposal system – all must be refurbished, to meet the increase in complexity of hospital management and the more efficient standards required. Other needs are: roofs to be remade, an Intensive Care Unit to be added to the surgery, a new incinerator to be built and new clean energy sources to be installed.

These are priority needs, which have to be added to our ongoing support to the daily hospital needs, which in turn sharply increased during the Covid-19 pandemic; medical and technical missions must also be supported and, finally, local personnel shall be encouraged to stay on and contribute to such a challenging mission.

Please do help us to persevere in carrying on the legacy of Father Giuseppe Ambrosoli in Uganda, to let it be known to everybody. To let its needs be known. To allow his wonderful work to keep saving human lives and bear fruit. Not only in Uganda.

A good deed is a river in flood, it runs over the banks, it overflows, it’s overwhelming. It overcomes, everything.

in the last year and a half we have all faced a challenge that we never would have imagined, from which we are finally emerging with great strenght and resilience. In Italy 83% of the population is vaccinated against Covid19. A precious goal for the good of all, especially for those who cannot receive the vaccine. Unfortunately, this is not the case everywhere.

In Uganda this challenge is still in its infancy. Out of a population of 44 million inhabitants, only 0.9% have received both doses of the vaccine, while the side effects of the pandemic are driving to the limit the poorest population, living in rural areas.

Today more than ever, every action implemented by our hospital in Kalongo wants to contribute concretely to the elimination of the gap between poverty and the right to health. This gap has dramatically widened during the pandemic and today threatens the health of women and children in particular.

The data speaks for itself and is of enormous concern. Since the beginning of the pandemic, immunization rates for children have decreased by 29%, antenatal visits by 26%, while the number of premature babies has increased (+ 122%). Maternity hospitalizations fell by 56%, while the number of assisted deliveries fell by 44% and the percentage of caesarean deliveries performed in emergency increased (+ 4%).

Faithful to its maternal-child vocation, the hospital is investing resources and energy to protect the health of women and their children. Because women are the backbone of Ugandan society. Taking care of them, training new midwives, educating women on the main health issues is today even more urgent and necessary if we want to save the greatest number of women and children not only from Covid19 but even more from the main preventable diseases, that because of misinformation and poverty are often fatal.

In this context, mothers are not only passive subjects. When informed and involved they become part of the solution to saving lives and promoting healthy behaviors.

Collecting the legacy of Father Giuseppe also means this: supporting the commitment of the hospital and the obstetrician school for and alongside Ugandan women. For a sustainable and lasting progress.

The right to health can no longer be the privilege of a few, we have now understood it well too, we took it for granted. If anyone falls behind, we all fall behind. Today, to really leave Covid behind us, we need to take care of those who cannot do it alone.

The work we carry out every day aims not only to support the hospital, but also to make it grow; first of all by training health personnel and actively involving and sensitizing local communities.

All this alone, however, would be impossible.

A big thank you to our small and large supporters, partner companies, institutions and friendly organizations who have chosen to support us even in this difficult year and a half. Your generosity allows us to carry out our plans for a more equitable, safer and healthier tomorrow for all.

From the heart, our best wishes

the past year was dramatic, but it offered us some new opportunities such as intensifying the relationship with you in
a general moment of fear and loneliness. To be honest, due to the spread of the pandemic, we were afraid of not being able to
keep the commitments made with the hospital and the midwifery school.

Your prompt and concrete response in such an uncertain moment surprised us once again. It is thanks to you if we intervened promptly to support the
hospital facing the pandemic and to ensure that no medical activities were suspended. It is thanks to you if despite all the inevitable difficulties we managed to carry on the ongoing projects, concluding the new isolation wards of pediatrics, toilet facilities and the new kitchens specific for that ward: essential interventions to improve the well-being of children forced into periods of isolation. We almost reached the last year of restorations of the accomodations for hospital staff, whose continuous presence is even more important today.

Unfortunately, these concrete results go with the indirect but still dramatic effects of the pandemic.

An example above all: the number of deliveries in hospital has been halved compared to the previous year. A lot of women have renounced safe delivery for the fear and the difficulties to go to the hospital, choosing to give birth at home without the assistance of qualified midwives.
2,707 versus 4,778 deliveries: this halved number tells of deliveries occurred in extremely life-threatening conditions for mothers and their children. The hospital staff is working hard to strengthen instruments and strategies to promote health in the villages among those who do not have access to the basic health services.

And of course they are continuing to take care of the nearly 50,000 people who go to the hospital every year. Our strength in being by their side has always been the mutual trust in the relationship between the Foundation and you who support us. A red thread that connects us and you with Kalongo and allows us to carry out with coherence and seriousness the legacy of love that Father Giuseppe Ambrosoli left us, in order that the hospital remains a concrete and safe point of reference for all the thousands of people who have trusted in it for over 60 years.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type="No Line" custom_height="50"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type="in_container" full_screen_row_position="middle" column_margin="default" column_direction="default" column_direction_tablet="default" column_direction_phone="default" scene_position="center" text_color="dark" text_align="left" row_border_radius="none" row_border_radius_applies="bg" overlay_strength="0.3" gradient_direction="left_to_right" shape_divider_position="bottom" bg_image_animation="none"][vc_column column_padding="no-extra-padding" column_padding_tablet="inherit" column_padding_phone="inherit" column_padding_position="all" background_color_opacity="1" background_hover_color_opacity="1" column_shadow="none" column_border_radius="none" column_link_target="_self" gradient_direction="left_to_right" overlay_strength="0.3" width="1/1" tablet_width_inherit="default" tablet_text_alignment="default" phone_text_alignment="default" column_border_width="none" column_border_style="solid" bg_image_animation="none"][nectar_btn size="small" button_style="regular" button_color_2="Accent-Color" icon_family="none" text="CONTINUE READING THE MAGAZINE" url="https://www.fondazioneambrosoli.it/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Kalongo-News-EN-2021_1.pdf"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type="in_container" full_screen_row_position="middle" column_margin="default" column_direction="default" column_direction_tablet="default" column_direction_phone="default" scene_position="center" text_color="dark" text_align="left" row_border_radius="none" row_border_radius_applies="bg" overlay_strength="0.3" gradient_direction="left_to_right" shape_divider_position="bottom" bg_image_animation="none"][vc_column column_padding="no-extra-padding" column_padding_tablet="inherit" column_padding_phone="inherit" column_padding_position="all" background_color_opacity="1" background_hover_color_opacity="1" column_shadow="none" column_border_radius="none" column_link_target="_self" gradient_direction="left_to_right" overlay_strength="0.3" width="1/1" tablet_width_inherit="default" tablet_text_alignment="default" phone_text_alignment="default" column_border_width="none" column_border_style="solid" bg_image_animation="none"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type="in_container" full_screen_row_position="middle" column_margin="default" column_direction="default" column_direction_tablet="default" column_direction_phone="default" scene_position="center" text_color="dark" text_align="left" row_border_radius="none" row_border_radius_applies="bg" overlay_strength="0.3" gradient_direction="left_to_right" shape_divider_position="bottom" bg_image_animation="none"][vc_column column_padding="no-extra-padding" column_padding_tablet="inherit" column_padding_phone="inherit" column_padding_position="all" background_color_opacity="1" background_hover_color_opacity="1" column_shadow="none" column_border_radius="none" column_link_target="_self" gradient_direction="left_to_right" overlay_strength="0.3" width="1/1" tablet_width_inherit="default" tablet_text_alignment="default" phone_text_alignment="default" column_border_width="none" column_border_style="solid" bg_image_animation="none"][/vc_column][/vc_row]

thank you so much! It is thanks to you if even in 2020, whit a pandemic, we succeeded to guarantee treatments and care of high quality to thousands of people and to go ahead with our projects in Kalongo. You are helping us to write a beautiful story, that started more than 60 years ago with Father Giuseppe and is carried on even now, despite everything, by people able to look beyond one's own history, laying good and deep roots in the future.
In September, Covid-19 also arrived in Kalongo.

At the end of October a total of 44 cases have been registered, most of them within the hospital staff.

It was inevitable, considering how much the staff is daily dealing with all the others health emergencies. After a period of care and isolation positives people were discharged and the staff returned to work. But there is an even worse threat than Covid itself and it is the invisible effects of this sneaky virus. In the last months the hospital is recording numbers that raise the alarm about the real health situation of the district and threaten the economic sustainability of the hospital.

Up to September 2019, the pregnant women in the ward of maternity were 1,262, this year in the same month they were only 345, as well as the number of children hospitalized in pediatrics, that in the same period fell from 1,432 to 434. A dramatic decrease that tells us how the health emergency is impeding the access to care of hundreds of people, aggravating an already precarious economic situation and triggering a dangerous vicious circle that from a lack of health inevitably leads to poverty and vice versa.

The obstetrics school, closed since March for the pandemic, has reopened at the end of September for 109 female students of the last two years.
We are very happy for them but we are wondering what will happen to the 38 girls of the first year who for the moment cannot return to
school. Many of them will be forced to abandon their studies because the even poorer families will no longer be able to afford the expenses for the
school or will prefer to keep them at home contribute to the sustenance of the family.

Although we are aware that we are facing a 2021 full of challenges, we will tenaciously continue to do our best to ensure the
continuity and quality of care services offered by the hospital and the studies of the students of the midwifery school.

Together we can work for those without access to health and to an acceptable life, those who today feel also threatened by the pandemic, just like us.
We don't need to find any other reason to ask you to continue to support us.

Having you by our side today is all that matters.
Merry Christmas dear friends, and above all Happy New Year to you all!
