Samson Kunda Memorial Cancer Hospital

Ndola, Zambia

 

Zambia, with a population of over 18 million people, has only one dedicated cancer hospital located in Lusaka. Cancer patients who live away from the capital city, must endure the cost and discomfort of travel to receive cancer treatments.

To provide comprehensive cancer care in the Copperbelt Province of Zambia, Rivers of Living Waters Missions is sponsoring this important project. Named in memory of the founder’s father, who died from cancer in 2022, the Samson Kunda Memorial Cancer Hospital is a 114 bed hospital with a focus on cancer care. The master plan developed by Msaada Architects is planned for growth with the first phase being a diagnostic and infusion therapy building. Radiation treatment and in-patient wards will be later added to serve cancer patients. Other general outpatient and inpatient services are also planned. And if the full dream is realized, a medical college is also proposed.
