Another full
day! We started the day with Kenyan
coffee and chai, bananas and fresh eggs.
Then ventured off to our second day with Hospital
staff and patients. One group of
students spent time in a delivery (a beautiful, healthy baby girl!), another
group provided morning care in the ward. In triage, -Monday morning proved to
be busy with men, women and children arriving for check-ups and treatment. Having put in a full day at the hospital, we
rounded out the day there by discussing health care issues and promising
practices with hospital medical and administrative staff. Ongoing challenges
include HIV and AIDS (with the prevalence reported to be higher than the
national prevalence); access to clean water; and diarrheal disease. Communities here have stepped up to these
challenges and are making strides to improve health and quality of life. We are
all tired out and ready to collapse under our mosquito nets for a good night’s
sleep.
