jdcarp999@gmail.com- Health programme
- We just completed a project at the Bwindi Community Hospital in Kanungu, Uganda. We outfitted 4 new ICU rooms and provided radiology equipment and general ward supplies. We worked with several other US Rotary clubs, the local Rotary club, ProjectCURE, Yale University, and the Catholic Medical Mission Board (NYC) for this project worth about a million US dollars.
- Countries of operation
- Uganda
- Plans for the future
- A vision and dental clinic for the Bwindi Community Hospital. We are working with several organizations and other Rotary clubs to outfit the new clinic with equipment. We also hope to provide a CT scanner for the hospital.
- How we might collaborate
- We would appreciate suggestions on where to find refurbished/affordable vision and dental equipment for this hospital caring for an underserved population. The CT scanner is obviously a big expense. The equipment needs to be serviceable locally.
