In August 2019, we were pleased to have Dr Laurel Coleman and her husband Dr Steve Coleman delivered to us on a MAF flight . They spent time at Yotkom Medical centre and shared with the broader medical community in our region. They were able to encourage our team and be involved in teaching and sharing from their backgrounds in medical specialities .<br />

Recently, Gifty Lona, a 10 month old child , presented with significant club foot deformities. She had previously been fitted with a brace but this had been damaged and the family was unable to afford the trip to the nearest orthopaedic clinic or the cost of having a new brace.<br />

Without the brace during this critical phase of growth , Gifty will have a life long disability . Our orthopaedic clinical officer , James and our Chaplain Concy both recommended this family for assistance so we have facilitated the child's ongoing treatment .<br />

Denise Nicholls, a midwife from Perth, Western Australia has moved to Kitgum to live, along with her husband Richard.<br />
Her full time presence will be invaluable as Yotkom seeks to establish a very special, and safe place for mothers and babies to be received and cared for in this rural area of Northern Uganda .<br />
Jo Hardcastle , midwife from Wesley Hospital Brisbane has also been in Uganda helping us establish clear best practice clinical guidelines, policies and procedures for women in pregnancy, labour and after delivery.<br />
<br />
On July 1, an experienced Ugandan midwife, Mary will join Yotkom as our head of Midwifery.<br />

Our vision since we were formed has been to seek ways to build self reliance and foster sustainability in our medical project .<br />
Local income generation is a key to this.<br />
The development of an agricultural project was something we dreamed of, which now, thanks to targeted donations, has become a reality. It is very exciting .<br />
<br />
The land is 125 acres in size.<br />
We have employed an experienced Ugandan agricultural advisor who will assist us raise over 130,000 eucalyptus seedlings in the next three months ready for planting out at the beginning of the rainy season in March 2019.<br />

The Yotkom Medical Centre has been reviewed and assessed by the Department of Health and been deemed to be a facility worthy of approval to identify TB patients and initiate Tuberculosis treatment using medications provided for free .<br />
Tuberculosis is a major health problem in this community and there are increasing numbers of multi drug resistant cases .<br />
There is a link between HIV /AIDS and Tuberculosis and it is likely that Yotkom will receive approval to be managing HIV patients , providing life saving medication for this condition.<br />

used this week following the guide lines set out. Two children arrived at
Yotkom referral from Government hospital as their X-ray facility is still out.
The children a young boy aged 6 and his sister aged about 10 had walked 25
miles with just enough money to cover consultation and x-ray but not for
treatment. Dr Robert and </span><span style="font-size: 14.666666984558105px;">Patrick</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> thought he had a dislocated elbow and had a great
deal of pain. Dr Robert and Patrick agreed he could not go that distance back home
without treatment. We had a meeting with Peter Omara and came to the decision
that it was appropriate to access the fund for the well being of the boy. They
were also given money for safe transport home<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

This new building is 3 times larger than our existing primary health care facility and it is truly amazing to see this dream become a reality!<br />
The new building is made of two halves connected by a breezeway .<br />
One half provides a birthing facility for women and babies with two labour wards and a dedicated theatre for Caesarian section. This section also houses some admission areas for women and a newborn baby ward, as well as areas for women to attend pregnancy checks and receive health education.<br />
The second half of the structure has several admission wards along with teaching facilities and an administration zone.<br />

<br />
Can we ask you to consider donating to our work.<br />
We need continuing donor support, particularly as we seek to employ more senior medical staff to supervise the bigger facility. We know our wages bill will increase.<br />
We need to strive for excellent medical standards and this can only be achieved by recruiting more senior Ugandan medical professionals full time.<br />
One of our key goals at Yotkom is self reliance , and we are pleased to report that our Yotkom primary health care facility , currently employing 32 staff, is right now largely operating as a self reliant clinic due to the strategy of local income generation we have in place .<br />
The bigger facility will put some financial strain on us initially but as it grows we believe we will also come close to self reliance. In the meantime ,during this growth phase, we will be so appreciative of the giving we receive from Australia to help us lift off!<br />
thank you for supporting us !<br />

Pastor Jason Elsmore from Gateway Baptist Church in Brisbane Australia spent some days at Yotkom . He was accompanied by a small team , including Nick Paton, who was able to make an audiovisual record of the work being undertaken in our project.<br />

This will be used to report back most especially to the Gateway community who support us in so many ways .<br />
The fulfilment of the vision we have to respond to injustice, poverty and sickness in Northern Uganda would not be possible without the constant presence of this very special outwardly -looking church community in Australia.<br />
While he was here, Jason gave us some inspirational messages and encouraged us to have love at the centre of our relationships within the team and as a distinctive way in which we respond to our patients.<br />

<br />
In April, Dr John Yared has been spending time with two of our key Ugandan dental workers, Godfrey and Annette.<br />
John brings a wealth of experience from working in Australia and also in Africa .<br />
He has been able to work alongside our dental team, sharing knowledge and skills and helping establish good clinical guidelines for treating common dental problems.<br />
He also kindly donated some dental equipment from Australia including a mobile dental unit which will assist us to conduct rural outreaches.<br />
We hope this very valuable mentoring relationship will continue into the future.<br />

This November we are excited to be able to commence a dental service to the community .<br />
The area we service has a population of over 300,000 and people with tooth ache and decay suffer so much without skilled interventions. The Yotkom Medical centre has employed Godfrey as a dentist and Annette as a dental assistant . We have set up a well equipped basic facility and plan to expand this.<br />
In 2018, a dentist from Australia has indicated a willingness to come to Kitgum and assist with ongoing mentoring and teaching.<br />
We believe this is a significant leap forward in our mission to bring wholistic high quality health care to northern Uganda.<br />

We take our financial accountability seriously.<br />
We undertake through our administration team to keep up to date financial records in the QuickBooks online accounting program. Our partner organisation in Australia is able to monitor income and expenses on a regular basis.<br />
Recently an experienced accountant , Tim, came to audit our bookwork and to assist us to prepare end of year financial statememts for the Ugandan taxation authority.<br />
It was an intensive two days, and there was a celebration at the end !<br />

One of our initial challenges has been to work hard to re-open our radiology services.<br />
Here in Northern Uganda, the authorities have suddenly clamped down hard on hospitals and medical clinics, raising the standards expected within Xray facilities.<br />
Consequently all the facilities (including Government and Private Hospitals and clinics) servicing a population of over 500,000 people have been closed.<br />
Yotkom receives so many patients who require x rays to assist with diagnosis.<br />
We use these for diagnosing broken bones and infections like Pneumonia and Tuberculosis.<br />

We are struggling to meet these newly imposed standards as quickly as possible.<br />
Thankfully we have been able to get assistance from a medical engineer and a radiographer and we have refitted our room and ordered lead from Kenya and procured barium paint to apply to our walls.<br />
It is quite an undertaking and costly. The lead for a door and a small window costs over $1000 USD.<br />
We appreciate your support as we tackle this issue.<br />
