Hello everyone!
This will be the last post as we are flying home tomorrow evening. We have had such a wonderful time and it has been a fantastic learning experience. We are so grateful to the staff at Villa Maria Hospital and the guesthouse for making us feel so welcome.
Over the last few days, the students have been working hard finishing and submitting their projects. We had a relaxing day at the beach today to celebrate. Last night we had a lovely meal at a restaurant called 'Plot 99' - cocktails and burgers were a real treat!
I've been to a few clinics over the last few days - both in the outpatient department and in the HIV clinic. Many of us have had the dreaded lurgy so this has limited our activities somewhat! We are all feeling much better now though. On Thursday evening we had a netball match against the local primary school which I am ashamed to say we lost! Clearly we let them win...
Yesterday, I went to Kitovu Hospital which I mentioned in a previous post. I met my friend Sarah who works there and went to their CME (continuing medical education) meeting; the topic this week was communication. I then met with the medical superintendent of the hospital, who is very keen for us to send another group of students to Kitovu next summer. So next year we are hoping to have one group at Villa Maria and another at Kitovu, to give more students the opportunity to do this SSC.
Thank you so much to all of you who have been following our blog. Finally a big thank you to all of the students for being such a delight to be with and for working so hard on their projects.
We are all keeping our fingers crossed for a smoother and speedier journey home!
All the very best,
Amy and the Uganda SSC students 2013
