Auggy’s story:
In cooperation with The International Catholic Committee of Nurses and Medico Social Assistants, Vatican City (CICIAMS), Auggy voluntarily lead a nursing movement among English speaking African countries. Specifically, Auggy championed a Regional African Congress with the theme” Scaling Up African Health Services through Nurses, the Merciful Carers of Humanity”. The Congress catapulted nurse efforts to improve levels of health services in and among different African countries. Auggy espouses that health services improvement can be achieved through the actions and work of nurses. At a UNICEF supported hospital in Lubombo region of Eswatini, Auggy served as a midwife for 15 years.
The Good Shepard Hospital didn’t have enough beds and equipment for all its patients. In addition, lack of ambulances in Eswatini meant that many mothers arrived in advanced stages of labor, increasing the risk of complications. “Taking care of someone in need or who’s sick and making them better is the most important thing to me,” said Auggy Ndlovukazi. Auggy’s work was featured in UNICEF’s “Team on the Ground” video.
Auggy is the Past President of the Eswatini Catholic Nurse Guild and has served on Vatican Committees address nursing care delivery. Locally, Auggy and his colleagues donated clothing and food to under nourished and impoverished families they visited. As a Rotarian, Auggy led projects including soup dishes to more than 450 primary school children, provisions for wheelchairs for the disabled, garden projects at a refugee camp, and provisions for cloth masks to school children. Auggy and his colleagues commemorate the international Day of the Sick every February providing health services to hard to reach areas. Auggy has and continues in his humble and loving way to have a GLOBAL IMPACT.
