| On rounds with Dr. McAdam |
 |
| The Pediatrics Ward - 19 beds and 10-20 floor mattresses !! |
 |
| Patients were happy to be getting care - being on the floor was not a problem !! |
 |
| Overflow floor mattresses were often needed in the Women's ward. |
 |
| Patients received 2 meals daily, usually nshima (pounded corn made into the consistency of cookie dough or grits) and vegetables like the squash shown here. |
 |
| Several times daily, patients stood in line to get their meds. |
 |
| Discharged patients waiting for their home meds at the Pharmacy |
 |
| Patiently waiting at the doctors' clinic. |
 |
| Twice weekly, there were teaching rounds for the staff - we spoke on hypertension, heart failure, anemia, malaria, worms, and developmental problems in children. |
 |
| Most hospital supplies and food were trucked in over 700 kilometers on this semi-truck over rutted dirt roads - AMAZING!!! |
