When The Duncan Hospital Community Outreach team first met Jakimu in her village, she was bravely facing advanced breast cancer. With extraordinary skills and dedication, the team began visiting her regularly – cleaning and dressing her wound, supporting her through the challenges, and helping her access the treatment she needed. Their compassion and persistence brought comfort, relief, and a renewed sense of hope.

During a recent visit to The Duncan Hospital, the Trustees of the Duncan Hospital Charitable Trust were fortunate to meet Jakimu and hear firsthand about her journey and the remarkable care she had received from the outreach team.

A few months later, we were delighted to receive an update from the team – news that the Duncan team had helped Jakimu access more advanced cancer treatment. Not only that but the same team had also been able to provide ongoing support for one of her Grandchildren, a bright and joyful child living with cerebral palsy, who is now also receiving ongoing support. We think you’ll agree that the second photo tells a thousand words!

What began as one woman’s health care journey became a story of hope for an entire family. With guidance from Duncan Community Outreach Team, they’ve been connected to the medical, social, and emotional support they need – and the future feels just a little brighter.

Every day, The Duncan Hospital Outreach Team travels beyond the hospital gates, bringing healthcare and hope to families across Bihar. Their work quietly but profoundly changes lives – one visit, one family, one story at a time.

Those in this group live with disabilities themselves or care for loved ones who do. Today’s visit is about more than medical care. The team is sharing advice, encouragement, physical equipment, and information on where families can find support – health and rehabilitation help from the Duncan Hospital itself, plus local government schemes, that they might not otherwise hear of.

For families raising children with cerebral palsy and other disabilities, these visits bring connection, understanding, and hope. They remind each person that they are not alone – that help and community can grow even in the more remote of Bihar’s communities.

Through its Community Teams, The Duncan Hospital continues to walk alongside families like these – building awareness, offering care, and helping them access the support they deserve.

Your support helps make these visits possible – bringing health, hope, and dignity to communities like these.
