Visitors...

Life here is enriched by visitors from all corners of the world.  We currently have two medical students, Peter and Angus from Australia who, sadly, had an upsetting time in Tanzania prior to coming here when they were robbed.  But now safely in Kisiizi and enjoying settling in...

Moses Mugume with Jenny Tustian & Liz Traill

Jenny Tustian, previously Sister in Charge, and Liz Traill, who had worked in Kabale, visited Kisiizi recently and enjoyed seeing some changes.  

Alan & Tricia Bapty with Ezra Mugenyi

Alan Bapty had served here in 1961 and then again worked here for a few months with his wife Tricia in 1993, living in the same house we now occupy.  So a lot of memories as they looked around....

Dr. Robert

Dr Robert has one year to go in his specialist training as a general surgeon in Mbarara and is due to join us again in September 2013 to work with Dr. Gabriel.  He came to visit us for a day to see developments in Kisiizi including the new operating theatres.

The latest team from Chester have just arrived to support our imaging service with training in x-ray and ultrasound.  We were really pleased to hear that we may be able to start doing echocardiograms to diagnose congenital heart disease more accurately than is possible at present...

John and Myra Sloane have arrived today, John will cover Dr. Gabriel's fortnight away on leave so we are grateful for the locum support.  Myra is hoping to work on the medical wards and HIV clinic partly to prepare for a few months helping in a hospital in Congo early next year.

One other visitor was a mother and baby who came back to thank Staff - the mother had been extremely unwell so it was good to see her and her baby doing well and one of our interns, Dr. Henry, took the opportunity for a well-deserved cuddle!
