Ministries of the Good News Hospital, Mandritsara

Community Health


The Community Health Department was founded by Dr Pierre Andrzejewski from France, supported by Tearfund UK. Dr Francis, a Malagasy doctor, worked with Pierre for several years and has now taken over responsibility for this work.

  • Health education


    Assistant nurses have been taught to give health education, and sessions are held for the patients and relatives each morning in the outpatient department.

  • Village Health Workers


    Six workers have been trained to provide basic preventive medical care, and some curative care, in villages allocated to us by the government health department. The workers were selected by their villages according to criteria provided by HVM. The villages have also erected simple buildings for this work, with some help from HVM.

    Vaccination sessions are undertaken at the hospital and in certain villages allocated to us by the government health department

  • Toilet building


    A project has been started to encourage the construction of toilets by schools and households. A bricklayer has been employed to do the practical work.
