The Challenge

Healthcare in Rural Northern Ghana

The Lungni community clinic was the only healthcare facility serving tens of thousands of people across the Nanumba South District of Northern Ghana. For years, it operated with severely inadequate equipment, crumbling beds, no diagnostic tools, and no proper space for maternal care.

Pregnant mothers would travel long distances to deliver. Basic diagnoses were impossible. The community needed urgent action, not just donations, but a complete transformation.

Nevalak's response is a phased approach: first equip the existing clinic, then build a brand-new facility that the community deserves.

Phase 1, Equipment

Medical Equipment Donations

Before the new clinic could be built, Nevalak responded immediately by equipping the existing facility with critical medical tools.

Wheelchair donation

♿ Wheelchair Donation

Nevalak donated wheelchairs to the Lungni community clinic to support patients with mobility challenges. A simple but life-changing contribution for the community.

Ultrasound machine

🏥 Ultrasound Machine

A fully functional ultrasound machine was donated to the clinic, now enabling prenatal scans and diagnostics that were previously impossible in Lungni. This equipment serves thousands of patients annually.

Additional medical equipment

💊 Additional Equipment

Phase II saw further medical equipment donated totalling €5,000 in value, including beds, diagnostic tools, and ward supplies to bring the clinic to a functional standard.

Phase 2, New Clinic Construction

Building the Lungni Community Clinic

The equipment donations were a vital first step, but the community needed a proper, purpose-built healthcare facility. In 2023, Nevalak began planning and fundraising for a full clinic, and in 2024, construction began.

⚔️ Sod-Cutting Ceremony

A traditional sod-cutting ceremony was held with community leaders, elders, and Nevalak representatives to officially mark the commencement of construction. The community came together to celebrate this historic moment, the first purpose-built clinic for the Lungni area.

🏗️ Construction in Progress

Walls are now at full height across the building. The structure is taking shape, and every donation brings the community one step closer to having a real clinic with a maternity unit, consultation rooms, a laboratory, a pharmacy, and more.
