Staff Enrichment
Delivering Empowerment
One of the reasons Brother Andre Hospital is an exceptional place for maternity care is the staff that works there. We know that investing in our people empowers them to stay engaged in their work, take pride in how they interface with patients and the community, and allow for them to continue to thrive.
To that end, New DAWN Africa has developed a scholarship initiative aimed at investing in the staff at Brother Andre. All employees are encouraged to apply, and indeed, recipients have been everything from Janitorial staff to Laboratory staff, Pharmacy Technicians, and Counselors.
Staff who receive scholarships cost-share in their education and commit to a minimum of two years to the hospital upon the completion of their studies.
“New Dawn Africa are great benefactors of BAMC and have continuously supported education, training and development of staff at BAMC. In 2019 three staff benefited from their sponsorship; In 2021 five staff will benefit from this scholarship programme.”
