Pursuing Excellence in Healthcare
In 2024, Ekwendeni Mission Hospital launched its 2024–2029 Strategic Plan with an ambitious goal: to achieve COHSASA (Council for Health Service Accreditation of Southern Africa) accreditation by 30 September 2029.
This milestone reflects our commitment to quality, patient safety, and accountable healthcare for every person we serve — regardless of their ability to pay or how far they have travelled to reach us.
Support Our Work
Facilities at the hospital have steadily improved over the years, thanks to God's blessing and the support of many donor agencies and partner churches. We hope and pray that the hospital is a witness to God, and we aim to serve the surrounding communities to the best of our abilities.
