Bansang Hospital Appeal Bansang Hospital Appeal (BHA) is an award winning charity dedicated to improving healthcare delivery in a remote region of The Gambia, West Africa. Since 1992, its founder, Anita Smith MBE MRG, has dedicated her life to reversing its once terminal decline.
Thanks to Anita's efforts and your support, Bansang Hospital today is vibrant, cohesive and incredibly effective. It has near 100% staff retention - an unparalleled accomplishment in Sub-Saharan Africa, and an unthinkable one when considering the horrors that Anita first viewed in 1992. The BHA's intervention has ensured that hundreds of communities across the entire region have been saved from the destructive trauma of losing loved ones to preventable causes. Your support means 600,000 of the most vulnerable and caring people are now able to plan their futures with ever greater certainty.
