Lawra District Hospital
Our site visits to Lawra and Tumu were nothing short of fantastic. My favorite part about visiting Lawra was getting the chance to see the actual grounds for the nutrition center! I also got to see the library created a few years back by Project Heal…the library was complete with Emma’s face on the wall. Our visit to Tumu District Hospital was equally exciting because they seem to be a very good candidate for a shipment this year. Not only is the hospital pretty far removed from the other districts and towns, but it was also extremely crowded. The OPD was packed; the halls were packed; the rooms were packed. After speaking with Dr. Bukari, we were able to get a better idea of the hospital’s needs, which range from hospital beds to an ultrasound machine for OB/GYN use. Though ultrasound machines are sometimes difficult to find, we hope to meet this need for the Tumu District Hospital.
