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.

Dr Finny was in the UK to attend a medical conference, but took time out of his schedule to travel north and visit DHCT trustees Dr Graham and Karen Watson and Jackie Mackay. During his visit, Dr Watson gave him a whistle-stop tour of Stirlingshire, including visits to local hospitals, Dunblane Cathedral as well as to The Giving Tree – the local Dunblane charity shop that has done an incredible job of raising funds for us over the past year.

Dr Finny received a warm welcome here and shared uplifting updates on the latest developments and projects at The Duncan as well as thanking them and explaining just how much their donations are helping to make a difference to staff and patients at the hospital.

We’re hugely grateful to Dr Finny for his ongoing support for The Duncan and for taking the time to visit us at DHCT.

And as always, thank you to everyone who continues to support this vital work.

Our latest fundraiser is to help support the Asha Street Kids School at The Duncan – donations are welcome here.
