 'This is a frank and, at times, graphic account of Anita Smith and her work, since 1992, on behalf of the patients at this isolated third world hospital in Bansang, West Africa. Especially the children who rely on its under resourced and over stretched facilities for their life saving health care needs'

Dear visitor,         
To be given this opportunity of welcoming you to the Bansang Hospital Appeal Charity web site is an extremely gratifying experience and I do sincerely hope that before you leave you will consider that your time here has been well spent.
I also sincerely hope that the contents of the many pages will have been thought provoking enough to perhaps inspire you to become a friend of the Bansang Hospital Appeal Charity. Yes every donor, whether active or passive, to the Appeal is considered to be a true friend and I can assure you that your involvement will make a real difference to the lives of so many.
If you are a new visitor to my web site this is the perfect opportunity, at the outset, for me to outline the following attributes of the Appeal:
The Appeal has always received and continues to receive the full cooperation of the Gambian Government in all of its work within The Gambia. The president, Col. Yahya A.J.J.Jammeh, spoke at length both on the radio and TV of the Appeals work and in particular the magnificent support that the hospital was receiving from Kettering General Hospital. Following these broadcasts I had the honour of a two hour meeting with the President. During this meeting we discussed in great detail the Appeals work and how the Government could continue to assist in the future.
The Appeal has an extremely close working relationship with the Bansang Hospital management board and all proposed medical aid deliveries and development projects are fully discussed before they are implemented. During my regular visits to the hospital, detailed discussions take place on all issues relevant to the charities work.
The Appeal enjoys a very special relationships with a number of UK National Health Hospitals. These close relationships have  benefitted and continue to benefit the staff at the hospital in enabling them to gain vital help and guidance on all medical matters.
The Appeal is a compact "hands on" charity that prides itself on delivering precise and carefully targeted medical aid and assistance. This ensures that the maximum effect in patient care and rehabilitation is always achieved.
All donors of money are advised of exactly where their charitable donation is to be used, should they request to know.  
All charitable donations are spent in the most prudent and cost effective manner that will most benefit all patients within the hospital.
I have often dreamt that it would be so much nicer if there was no illness or poverty in the world and everyone was equal. However until that day arrives I will continue to spend every waking hour trying to make a difference to the wonderful people of Bansang.
