Slide3Talo
Health Centre Mali, West Africa
Slide4The
Talo Health Centre serves more than 5,000 patients from seven surrounding villages; from pregnant women to newborn babies, adults and the elderly.Without clean water, staff have to make choices that compromise the health and care of their patients every single day.
“Our job is to help save lives, it is a very difficult job for us with our conditions.”
Slide5“When we came here to see
the doctor we were really afraid. My husband and I and all the children, everybody thought that Drissa will die
.”
Slide6“It’s a
bad situation in general because you cannot get clean and the child cannot get clean. So mum and child are both dirty and infections happen.”
Slide7Clean water will transform communities around the world
Slide8What are
WaterAid doing in Talo?This winter, we are working to put clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene at the heart of health centres like Talo.
Clean water will mean staff won’t have to leave their duties to collect water, doctors can wash hands between patients, matrons can
clean the delivery room, and babies can be protected from infections.
