Monday 7th February
Several of the local staff seemed very pleased to see me back which was encouraging. I am the only mzungu Doctor at present and the medical director seemed happy enough for me to be involved on the medical wards again. A new development is that there is now a visiting Doctor from the University of Kampala Medical Department nearby at Ishaka who is coming next at the end of this week so that is progress I hope. The wards are not so busy at present. I think a number of factors are contributing Costs are rising for patients as there is some inflation here in Uganda In October a pound was 3500 UgSh whereas now it is nearer 3700 UgSh. Also it’s hotter and drier so there isn’t so much malaria. The elections are also coming up in just over one weeks time. I’ve spent a little time taking some short film clips around the hospital so hopefully we can put something together to go on the practice website. I was quite pleased to have a quiet day after the last 2 days travelling.
