A Summer at Kibimba Hospital

Below is a copy of Dr. Elisee's report on the activity at Kibimba Hospital for the past summer (May-July). (Sorry for the quality/size of the print. Each page is a jpeg image, so you can copy & paste somewhere to enlarge if you really want to read the details.) You will get a feel for how busy the hospital -- and Dr. Elisee! -- are all the time. Some of the medical terms are French, but you can figure out most of them.





New Maternity and Pediatric Wards

Dr. Elisee has sent some pictures of the new maternity building and pediatric building. Notice the nice white tile floor in the delivery room!
