Harvesters Hospital

Hospital for Women & Children in Yei, South Sudan
Est. March 2012

In 2012, we opened His House of Hope & Faith Hospital, now Harvesters Hospital, to treat women and children in Yei, South Sudan. The hospital, equipped with 40 beds, a maternity ward, special care nursery, x-ray and laboratory facilities, as well as housing unfortunately had to close in 2016 due to insecurity in the region. Praise God, with the help of faithful supporters, we reopened the hospital in March 2022.

Our chief medical goals at His House of Hope & Faith Hospital are to reduce illness and death from preventable and treatable disease, and to improve pregnancy outcomes by providing care before, during and after pregnancy.

WHY DO WE DO THIS WORK? Because in South Sudan…

• 1 in 7 women have a risk of dying in pregnancy or childbirth
• 1 out of 10 newborns will due before they turn 5 years-old
• 75% of all child deaths are due to preventable diseases
• 63% of the population are children under age 15
