Kalukembe Mission Hospital is a 200-bed, full-service, district hospital on a 120-year-old mission established by Swiss missionaries and now run by the Igreja Sinodal Evangélica de Angola (an Angolan protestant denomination). Since the civil war, it spent over 20 years without a full-time physician, with nurses managing the many aspects of patient care. Daniel (emergency medicine) and Priscila (obstetrics and gynecology) have been serving in Angola since 2012. Their ministry includes development of hospital infrastructure; clinical education (including a rural medicine rotation for Angolan physicians); and clinical work, with a focus on maternal/child health, and fistula repair and prevention.
