Operation New Life - The Campaign

Home > The Campaign

Operation New Life is a non-profit organisation that works on a voluntary basis with the government and people of Niger to provide medical assistance and supplies to these unfortunate young women. All visiting surgeons and nursing staff carry out the work on a voluntary basis.

Operation New Life has been set up by Siobhan D'Arcy Bewick, from Dublin, in Ireland and has initiated a project to design and build a special hospital for the women. It will be attached to the main hospital in Niamey, the capital of Niger. It will have two operating theatres approximately fifty-two beds, and a medical teaching faculty.

Siobhan has begun a campaign to build a new hospital which will provide a dedicated facility for their pre- and post-operative care and will be the first of its kind in West Africa. The organisation has secured permission from the President of Niger to build this important facility. This hospital will eventually help thousands if not hundreds of thousands of desperately sick and poverty-stricken women.
