Our AIC Group had an outing planned to Visit the Largest
Hospital in Kigali… and i guess, Rwanda, too.
We were met by some wonderful staff folks that began telling us all about King Faisal!
When you move to Rwanda from afar… the one thing people say is that medical care isn't the greatest and i suppose compared to the care we are used to that might be the case… But..see for yourself…
The power point started us off. |
Gotta love a happy heart and joy on the job, right? |
Several Dr's and staffers greeted us and helped answer our questions. |
And here how it all began…Who would have known? |
This is the sign and the area most of us were interested in-- written in English, Kinyarwanda and French. |
I think this is the sonogram room for new moms! Lisa was checking it out! |
X-ray lab…It's been so long since we visited i hope i can remember all the things we saw. |
We divided into two groups because there was much to see and it was easier to hear in smaller groups. |
Does this look familiar? The CT scanner, I believe…. They are waiting for a new one but in the meantime this one was meeting needs. |
This man was a seasoned Dr. and full of great stories filled with lots of humor! We really enjoyed him |
The inner court yard area of the hospital…. Since it is summer all the time the walls don't need to be closed in!! |
There's Barb again…. soaking it all in!
I can't remember all the explanations… |
This was some kind of analysis machine. |
Maybe testing blood. |
Sorta looks like communion but as i recall he was making individual containers for blood testing! |
Everyone was working analyzing blood and testing for all sorts of things. |
Oh.. I wish I could remember why I took this picture because it was very interesting at the time. Anyone remember? |
On our way to see the dialysis area. This is the front of the hospital… and Barb! |
