It's depressing.
Our rural project. Pangani district hospital. Everyone says the same thing.
If you've got HIV you're one of the lucky ones cos at least you're getting some drugs thanks to the international community.
But if you've got a simple chest infection - the pharmacy is all but
Empty. And oxygen? You must be joking.
My remit is to perform a health needs assessment and then write a business case for external funding for the hospital.
The problem is that we only have 4.5 days and most of the issues people have highlighted are slightly beyond us.
"we have no supplies- no drugs - no petrol for our vehicles"
"all our staff leave - and 80% of our posts are vacant"
