July is wrapping up and UNGANA’s nurse seminars are ready to impact the people of Goma. Brianne, our nurse, arrived to Rwanda on Saturday and it’s great to see the enthusiasm of our last volunteer of this summer. To start off Brianne’s experience of Africa I took her to tour the Gisenyi Regional Hospital. It was great to see her reactions of the vast differences of the clinics and hospitals from Africa verses the United States. She was awed by the conditions of the delivery rooms and equipment used to treat patients. It was good to hear her say “I can’t wait to show the doctors and nurses at my office these pictures to remind them how good we have it”. The visit was a great reminder to Brianne and I of the many medical circumstances we take for granted at home.
Even Rwanda, which is one of the fastest developing countries in Africa, is still leaps and bounds away from achieving the health care standards of most western communities. UGNANA hopes that the seminars of this week will just be the start to the many programs that will be implemented into the region. This exciting event is just the beginning of the many great resources that will soon be flowing to Africa. I can only look forward to the changes that will occur here and the hand that UNGANA will have in its success. Thanks for reading and I plan on bringing more great news here soon.
