Helping to train medical workers for South Sudan
Yotkom medical centre in Kitgum is going to be a centre of excellence where Clinical officers undertaking their medical training can be posted for supervision.
In March 2016 the first group of students in their third year of studies will come to work alongside our experienced doctors, nurses, laboratory technicians and x Ray technicians in the new Yotkom medical facility.
They will have an opportunity to learn best practices and get invaluable experience to help them provide good care to the communities of South Sudan.
This week, the head of the training school, paediatrician Dr Aniel Cherian came to visit , meeting our team and inspecting the nearly completed medical centre,
We are excited about having a role in education and being able to influence these future young Doctors who will treat patients in Uganda and Sudan.
