Winchester Yei Hospital Link makes good progress.

A second visit to Yei, with a larger team from the hospital, took place in October.  The team of seven – doctors, midwives and engineers -spent a very busy two weeks in Yei, doing a great deal of teaching, advising, visiting clinics and fixing broken hospital equipment. The local staff were full of praise for the team and we are hoping that in 2012 there will be two of three link visits. The work link is with the Martha Clinic as well as the Yei Nurse Training School and Yei Civil Hospital Maternity Unit. Find out more >
