A good day. The clinical folks were at Wad Medani Hospital (very busy 400 bed hospital) for ICU/CCU and cardiology rounds. This is the largest general hospital in all of Gezira province. I know that the team members found this exercise very helpful. Tim, Linda were shuffled off to their respective areas to give lectures. Claus also presented an excellent lecture to the med students and faculty doctors. I am really proud of our team members; they are adapting so well to this very different environment, always professional and friendly in all they do - I like to think we are doing St. Mary's (and Canada) proud.
Medani's health system has many needs......the numbers of people requiring care is astounding. However, it is impressive how well they do given the many obstacles in their path. I would suspect that the leadership of the Dean, Dr. Ali Habour has much to do with their successes - he is truly inspiring.
It is 5 pm, we are back at the hotel, some of us resting, while Yves, Martin, Bryna and Vera head back to the university to give lectures. Don and I spend all of our spare time strategizing...my brain hurts!
Having dinner along the banks of the Nile tonight - better load up on the Deet.
We miss our family and friends but otherwise everyone is well (thank goodness for Cipro!). Thank you for all of your posted comments.
Bye for now-
