Speech Therapy under the tree!!

This week we have done more at the clinic. I have spent 2 days doing speech therapy clinics under the trees and other home visits. I spent a day doing ante-natal work and immunisations. I also spent a day with the medical officer (more qualified than a nurse, less qualified than a doctor) where I saw many malaria cases as well as syphillis, jiggers and worms!! - Nothing like I have every seen in the UK.

We have spent 2 weeks familiarising ourselves with the culture and how they do things here. It has been a good time of preparation for the next 3 weeks where we will be more autonomous. We are going to Lingira, an island in Lake Victoria to support the medical work there = I suspect we will do lots of healthcare teaching, immunising and general clinics.
