Thank you to everyone who made this our most successful year to date, but we are just getting started! Stay tuned for our next edition in January. We have lots of exciting news, events, and plans on the way.
Fire Hits Bongo District Hospital
An electrical fire at Bongo District Hospital has burned down the operating room and the equipment in it. We have reports that the makeshift theatre is now utilizing entirely GMH-donated equipment! Without these items, the hospital would have been completely unable to maintain surgical operations.
Our Director of Operations, Dr. Dominic Akaateba will be visiting the hospital at the end of December. We'll have a full report from Dr. Akaateba in our next newsletter.
