b"A hospital with no running water gets a life-changing transformation in just two days.
\\n
\\nFor 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.
\\n
\\nSurgeries had to be postponed for lack of water to sterilize the equipment; families were forced to bring in their own often contaminated.
\\n
\\nTogether 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.
