Story
The Nora Sturges Health Centre in Lobito, Angola was opened in August 2003 and serves a poor district of Lobito, Angola.
The Centre is run by Revd Antonio Domingos who is also a provincial inspector for health. It has 6 other members of staff and offers health provision to many who live in the area of Esperanca in Lobito municipality.
The healthcare system in Angola is struggling and the population faces huge health challenges of malaria, cholera, yellow fever, HIV and with chronic shortages of clinics, hospitals and trained staff. Despite its wealth Angola still has one of the highest infant mortality rates and one of the world’s lowest life expectancies.
Although the Health Centre receives no support from the Angolan government and its only income is gifts from the UK, it does all it can to make a difference in this area of Lobito.
