Pfenniger Family- Africa
As of the fall of 2021, we made the decision to return to HBB (Hôpital
Baptiste Biblique) as full-time missionaries with ABWE. We are excited about what the Lord has for us there! We are going back to form relationships and be a part of the lives of the Togolese, both those who
work at and those who come to the hospital for help as patients. HBB is
a medical-surgical hospital that provides outpatient and inpatient care
for roughly 16,000 patients a year that includes 2,200 inpatient and
1,000 surgeries. Up until the summer of 2021, HBB also provided OB care
that included 600 delivers a year. However, secondary to a lack of OB
providers, HBB had to close the OB program. In returning to HBB, we
have been asked to reopen the OB service. Our goal is not simply to
re-open OB, but to create an in-house midwife training program that will
be part of a long-term solution of not only training OB providers but
also providing God-centered OB care and brining glory to God’s name.
