Committed to reduce the mother-infant
mortality, morbidity rates
in Uganda, Africa And To provide desperately need medical care for All
Matthew 25:40
Hearts 4 Africa (or H4A) was founded in 2005 by Sherill Sedillo (Certified Professional Midwife, Licensed Midwife), in response to witnessing first-hand the critical lack of medical services and support for women and infants struggling to survive birth in Africa. A dream was born to build a birth center where Ugandan women would be able to have both their physical and spiritual needs met.
Hope Filled Hearts 4 Africa’s Naluko Women’s Hospital is a 4,000 sf building in the heart of Naluko Village, Iganga District. We serve a population of 700,000 people that live in extreme poverty. Despite under-reporting and lack of accurate maternal statistics, the World Bank still identifies this part of Uganda as having the highest rates of maternal and infant mortality. The primary service of this new facility is to provide prenatal, postnatal, and delivery services to ensure that women have a safe, clean environment to deliver their babies. They are cared for by well-trained, compassionate midwives and our full time doctor is available at all times.
