The Congolese "not-so-much-urgency" cases

Tuesday morning, 10 o'clock. Mama Nsuyani, 17 years of age and 38 weeks pregnant, registers in the emergency room of the St. Joseph's hospital. Saturday she was referred to this place by a health-care centre in the countryside. She has come with her 1 year-old daughter and suffered from high blood pressure. After a three-day journey, she has finally arrived in Kinshasa.

Retour de mission

Nous voila de retour après une mission bien remplie.

Claude en train d'opérer. En effet comme notre séjour a été légèrement écourté à cause du volcan nous avons travaillé non stop samedis et dimanches compris. Cela nous a permis d'opérer 50 cas et de remplir en partie notre prochaine mission.


Achtergrond en informatie

Every year, Claude and Bernadette return to Walungu. They will give basic lessons in surgery and teach the doctors how to diagnose. This time, Wim and Sylvia will help them; they will introduce the correct procedures for pre- and post- operative care. Krista is active in a totally different field: she evaluates the work organisation and the assignment of tasks of the personnel and helps the board with personnel management.
