Our
Story
-Observation Ward (4 beds
-Injection and treatment Room
-Minor Surgery
-Primary Health care
-Consultation of outpatient
-Dental and gynecology. The health center supports homeless youth and disinherited children with medical & nursing care and occasionally clothing and food.
The Foundation supports H.I.V/AIDS patients in collaboration with other organs in charge of H.I.V/AIDS management in the Country.
Due to the growth of the population attending the health centre, also due to the insufficient space, lack of equipment and suffuscient medication, limited financial resources, the foundation is not able to assist the population that it serves effectively.
The FDD is reaching out to goodhearted donors to support the building of a modern medical centre and laboratory to promote the health of the population
Get to Know Us
Don Divin Health Center opened its doors on March 1, 2002, owned by Timothee Buyalomba, Nurse Anesthetist in the Democratic Republic of Congo, currently Registered Nurse in Pulmonary Medicine and Thoracic Surgery in Alberta, Canada, president of Don Divin Foundation.
The health center started as a health post occupying one studio on Laloux Road, Ngaliema Township, in Kinshasa, Democratic republic of Congo. The health post was intended to provide first aid treatment and follow up of non communicable diseases(wound care, minor trauma management, check up of high blood pressure, diabetes,..).
Later, the number of people attending the health post increased and the space was no longer sufficient to accommodate the population who attended the facility. Mr. Timothee negotiated with the landlord to extend the health post to the neighbouring studios, expanded the health post to a health center so as to manage most of the illnesses that represent a public health burden in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Due to the growth of poverty and the population with no means to access health care (children, homeless children, jobless teanagers single moms, pregnant women...), in March 2003, Mr. Timothee initiated the creation of the nonprofit Foundation Don Divin in collaboration with 5 other members with the aim of soliciting financial, materials, infrastructures and logistics support from the government agencies and international organization.
The Don Divin health Centre did not receive any support from the government or a third party. its existence and growth solely depended on the founder's personal income.
