The Dowites78 Foot & Wound Care Centre, provides specialized, multidisciplinary care for patients with diabetic foot ulcers and complex wounds.
Our mission is to prevent avoidable amputations, restore function, and improve quality of life through evidence-based wound management, surgical care, rehabilitation and community outreach.
We believe that every patient deserves dignity, compassion, and the best possible chance of recovery. Our work is not just about treating wounds — it is about saving lives, restoring mobility, and giving hope back to families who are often left with no other options.
We are grateful to our team, donors, and partners whose tireless efforts make this mission possible. Together, we are building a centre of excellence that not only heals but also educates and empowers. May our collective efforts continue to serve humanity in the best way.

We treat adults from across the city and surrounding districts — particularly people who cannot afford private care. On average the centre manages around 90 out-patient visits daily and has seen a high volume of surgical cases, including major and minor amputations carried out when clinically necessary.
Dedicated wound clinic and minor operating area
8-bed inpatient capacity for acute care and post-operative recovery
On-site pharmacy and consumables for wound management

“Our high patient volume reflects a pressing community need. We are focused on improving outcomes through early detection, targeted treatment, and ongoing follow-up. Regular audits and infection-control monitoring are integral to our quality improvement efforts.”
