....at the Station

 The Station is the central area of the hospital where nurses, doctors, and PAs gather. Some are focused on the urgent care/ER department which is called "Rea" (for reanimation) while others are focused on the inpatients. There is often collaboration between these two areas. The Hospital of Hope is blessed to have many Togolese nurses who have trained at the onsite nursing school as well as some expat nurses - their level of care is excellent!!

This is the "Rea" unit which functions as an urgent care/ER
 area. Some of the team for the day is in the picture below.

At the right is Kayli, a senior med student from Texas. Next to her is Alain
who has been at HOH from its opening - he started as the hospital
administrator but later went back to Physician Assistant school so
that he could help in patient care! At the left is Mike, a nurse who has
also served here from the beginning. In back is Dr. Arung, a 
surgical resident from Cameroon who recently started his 
5 year training program.

Across the nursing station from Rea is where the 
inpatient docs work. Susie is entering progress notes
onto the computer and conferring with nurse Alassi!

We have enjoyed getting to know Kayli, who will
soon return to Texas for med school graduation.
She is going into Family Medicine and hopes to
pursue medical missions!
