ZAMBIA - On to Chitokoloki !!

After our visit with the Murphys, we headed to the Lusaka Airport where we met the pilot of our single engine mission plane that made the 3 hour trip up to Chitokoloki Mission Hospital, in the far northwest of Zambia.

As we were leaving Lusaka, our old friend Dr. Chuck Miller (an 80 year old pediatrician we had worked with in Togo several years ago) was returning after 3 weeks at Chitokoloki.

The  old hospital, current site of lab and outpatient clinic. Note the hospital logo.

At the front entrance of the main hospital - Susie and our friend Fred, the guard.

The hospital was nicely laid out with good signage. "Theatre" is what the Brits call the operating room.
