Sindo Hospital


I finally made it out to Suba where my project is based. I am working with the Cervical Cancer Screening and Prevention (CCSP) team in Suba and Mbita for the next seven months and today was Day #1. I got a grand tour of Sindo Hospital which is actually an impressively large facility. There is a section with HIV services, maternity ward, peds, men & women’s inpatient wards, etc. It reminded me of Huruma Hospital in Rombo, Tanzania. That was the hospital where I fell in love with medicine and with Africa about six years ago. The blue and white walls, the benches of people waiting to be seen, the beautiful surrounding landscape… the set-up is exactly the same and the feel of this place brings back happy memories.
