Episode description
A hospital with no running water gets a life-changing transformation in just two days.
For the last two years, the hospital has been without running water, the lack of which presented unique challenges to both the staff and patients of Belladere.
Surgeries had to be postponed for lack of water to sterilize the equipment; families were forced to bring in their own often contaminated.
Together with Partners in Health, Operation Blessing installed new underground piping, connected the hospital to the city water line and installed a chlorinator to purify the city water before being stored in a large 30-foot-high water tank all in just two days.
