Mission & Vision

The Healthy Mom and Baby Clinic started in 2002 to serve the Kouga community when baby Ezra, born to educated parents, was almost lost due to a lack of specific knowledge in raising a baby. It became evident that there was a need for a specialized clinic for the advancement of mother and child health.

The Clinic is the only midwife practice in the area that offers antenatal classes, antenatal consultations and scans, deliveries, postnatal care, home visits with breastfeeding care, immunizations and education aimed at improving the mom and baby’s health outside of the government institutions. Our desire is to see a decline in mother and child mortality rates in our area and to bring healing and health into family lives.

The Clinic is a registered NGO and NPO that commits to bringing good medical practices within the framework of a faith-based organization. It is free to all and is supported by Victory Christian Church and the many people who partner with us to improve the lives of all the mothers and children in our area.
