Yesterday I returned from Ethiopia. This time I was in Attat hospital, only for two weeks. Together with my colleague Jules Schagen van Leeuwen we stood in for DR Rita, a Medical mission gynecologist, who went on a congress. We had a great time. There was a lot to do, much more buzzy than Mota! I was glad to be with the two of us. A mean of 3 caesarians a day,, one night I had 4, and the last day we had 6 in the afternoon, working in two operation rooms at once!!
What striked me most this time were the children who were admitted after hyena bites! luckily there were some befriended plastic surgeons and funds to help these kids. It was more then ever this year. Last year they warned me not to walk in the dark outside the hospital, and I thought it was overdone, but now I realize the dangers.
In spite of the overdose of rain we made some nice walks in the surroundings- daytime! We were often invited by the people and offered a coffeeceremony.
It was grat to be in Ethiopiaa again! As I am leaving for Ghana in two days for the next project, I make a short impression with pictures from the past two weeks. Hopefully there will be more internet in Ghana
