Day 1, Course 2 in Kabale

The training team is back at work in south Uganda. This is the second of 2 courses that NICHE International volunteers are facilitating. Two Ugandan trainers are working alongside the 2 life support instructors from the UK which greatly enhances the credibility of the project and strengthens it for the future. Kabale is a new venue and so the team will be trying to identify suitable clinicians to be trained as instructors themselves on a future visit. This all requires funding so if you are reading this and wanting to help out in some way – please do click on the “Donate now” button! All funds go to the courses; we have no overheads as a small charity run by the volunteer trustees. Instructors’ travel expenses, accommodation, insurance and malaria pills bill are paid by the charity but their time and expertise is given freely. It’s a humbling and totally inspiring set up.

Cath – no electricity this morning but they’ve found a generator to power the slide projector
Infection is a preventable cause of neonatal death and this handwashing session quite possibly saves more lives in the long run than teaching resuscitation
