Lamu Hospital - gifts already given

Thanks to the organisational skills of Alice in Nairobi, the Companions and other friends have now given several items of important equipment to Dr Nurein and his team but there is a long way to go. All of the donated equipment is clearly marked as Order of Malta property.
The first picture shows the operating theatre with the old lights, which barely function. Alice has now ordered a new set of lights, whcih arrived while we were there, but which have still to be installed.

This is a good quality domestic fridge, but as well as keeping normal things chilled, it also has to double as the blood bank (see the next entry) which is not desirable as the door has to opened frequently to stop the blood from getting too cold - a rather Heath Robinson solution.

Here is the equipment steriliser:

and finally the two delivery beds in the maternity unit.
