On the first day of our 2021 medical mission, Augustina Marcus Ndueso and her husbandMarcus Okon Ndueso came to the free medical mission. Due to COVID, we were trying tomaintain social distancing, so we did not let all attendees into the hospital compound at once.Augustina was waiting outside the gate of the compound. One of the volunteers noticed thatshe was pregnant and her feet were very swollen. It was very hot that day as well. The volunteertook it upon himself to notify the matron (Head nurse). The nursing staff came out to see her,immediately put her in a wheelchair and took her into the hospital. She was evaluated by one ofour volunteer physicians and was found to be in labor. Jah'swill Marcus Ndueso was born thatnight and was the first ImaBridge baby born at the medical center. To celebrate this beautifulinfant, ImaBridge presented the parents with a small financial gift to support the infant in hisnew life. The parents were very appreciative and voiced their gratitude for all the hospital staffand the wonderful care they received.
