The original structure for the Cross Clinic/Hospital proved to be inadequate to serve the needs of the people. With the help of generous supporters in Midland a new facility was built and completed in 2017. Unbelievably it was completely constructed by manual labor. No machinery was involved in any way.

The new hospital has three examination rooms and four wards – one each for males and females, one for children, and a maternity ward. There is a lab, a pharmacy, a labor and delivery room, several storerooms, a meeting room, and several small areas for prenatal visits and counseling. We are now in the final stages of opening an operating room so surgeries can be done at the hospital. This will reduce expenditures considerably by eliminating transportation costs and fees charged by referral hospitals.
